The Twisted Tale of Psychological Safety

Drs. Casey and Tim dive into the concept of Psychological Safety.  What is it?  What is it not (how it's been twisted)?  Neuroscience, fear, baseball and being "name called" all find their way into the discussion....and more!

"Rocco wanted to create the same environment, to get players to be the best versions of themselves.  There's a lot of transparency in the clubhouse, to where he's found a way to be over-communicative.  That is the way he leans on his coaching staff.  With Rocco, it's never about him. He arrives at the best possible conclusions for our team by talking to the pitching coach, the hitting coach, the strength and conditioning coach, the trainers, everyone. It creates a psychologically safe environment in which to share ideas."  This quote by MN Twins Chief Baseball Officer, Derek Falvey, sets the stage for the focus of this episode.

Amy Edmondson, professor at Harvard Business School, first identified the concept of psychological safety in work teams in 1999.
