Building Teams through Psychological Security
Team Psychological Security
Help with analysis, plan and operationalization
Amy Edmondson
Professor of Harvard Business School
Team psychological safety, first introduced by Professor Amy Edmondson of Harvard, is a shared belief among team members that the team is safe to take interpersonal risks.
When Google analyzed 180 internal teams to find out why some teams worked much better together than others, they concluded that it does not matter who is on the team, but how team members interact with each other.
Google found that the teams with the best performance had the highest level of team psychological safety.
For each team
It is often thought that Team Psychological Safety (TPS) is only important for teams where things are not right between them, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Team Psychological Safety is the core for any team to advance to the level of High Performance Team; And to stay at that level.
On average, people work in more than 8 teams at the same time. Often we see people behaving differently in one team than in another. It is still the same person, but the team composition, environment and the culture and tools of cooperation are different which makes me show and hear more or less, develop and add value to the team task.
The WIAL Netherlands Action Learning TeamCoach is a certified TPS facilitator and helps you discover where and how your team can make growth in collaboration.
Help your team continue to grow
The first step in the process is for all team members to answer a dozen questions, which are seven multiple-choice and three open-ended. Most people do this in about five minutes.
The second step is that, based on this, a report is produced in which we show where the different understandings of collaboration are and where team members have a shared view.
The third step is to use these outcomes to create an intervention plan that will allow you to work together as a team to grow to the next stage of collaboration and achieve and maintain the level of High Performance Team.
The fourth step is to guide the operationalization of the intervention plan.
During this process, an interim and/or final measurement is also taken to see how team members view the collaboration at a later time so that team members can use this in their reflection on progress and for adjusting approaches and goals.
