Description

Creating teamwork based on trust

Psychological safety describes a working atmosphere characterized by trust that allows team members to speak unpleasant truths, admit mistakes and show uncertainty among themselves without having to fear negative consequences.

Such a working atmosphere is a basic prerequisite for agile companies, as the “Project Aristotle” study shows. This study carried out at and by Google has shown that psychological safety (at least at Google) is the decisive factor for successful teamwork.

During a day with a high proportion of exercises, you will learn what psychological safety is and why it is so important for successful teamwork within modern forms of work (new work, agility). You will learn about methods that can be used to promote psychological safety.

Very important: we do this not only theoretically, but above all practically. During the workshop, we will try out various exercises and experience how safety and trust also deepen between us participants.

Agenda

  • What is psychological safety and how does it differ from other concepts?
  • What influences psychological safety and how can we promote it?
  • Get to know and try out online techniques that we can use to increase psychological safety in the team - for everyday life or for special meetings such as team events or retrospectives.
  • Self-reflection - how can I personally contribute to greater psychological safety
  • A toolbox for team-driven development of psychological safety
  • Assessment and change: where do we actually stand and how can I convince my colleagues of the benefits of psychological safety?

Your Benefits

Psychological safety is the basis for the effectiveness of many elements of agility and other new ways of working.

With sufficient psychological safety, there is more valuable feedback, more willingness to try out new things and the organization learns and changes more effectively as a result.

Here you will learn how to consciously increase this.

Audience

Everyone in the company who wants to shape teamwork and contribute to good teamwork: especially managers, moderators, (agile) coaches and Scrum Masters

  • Promoting psychological safety

Markus unterstützt seit mehr als 20 Jahren Unternehmen darin, mit Agilität erfolgreich zu werden. Davor hat Markus als Software-Entwickler gearbeitet und wechselt jetzt zwischen den Rollen Trainer, Coach und Berater - je nachdem was die Situation beim Kunden erfordert.

Sein Fokus liegt dabei auf den eher unsichtbaren Aspekten einer agilen Veränderung, z.B. Vertrauen und effektive Kommunikation, die die Selbstorganisation von Teams erst effektiv macht; z.B. das Community-Building, das erfolgreiche teamübergreifende Zusammenarbeit erst möglich macht oder z.B. die vielen kleinen Interventionen und Impulse, die eine große Veränderung zu einer agilen und modernen Organisation erst erfolgreich machen.

Die Förderung von psychologische Sicherheit ist dabei einer der Grundpfeiler seiner Arbeit.
