KaiNexus Continuous Improvement Podcast — [Webinar] Ask Us Anything! Psychological Safety and Continuous Improvement

In this webinar, we’re mixing up the format a bit to maximize time for Q&A and discussion.

In this video, Mark Graban will give a short presentation that recaps and updates his thoughts on some of these concepts. We’ll also conduct some live polling (and see the results) related to the level of psychological safety that attendees feel in their organizations.

Mark is also joined by KaiNexians Kaleigh Krauss and Linda Vicaro for discussion and their insights and stories.

The rest of the webinar was a Q&A discussion moderated by Morgan Wright, where you can ask your questions related to how leaders can cultivate a culture where everybody feels safe enough to speak up about problems, ideas, mistakes, and more.

Learning Objectives:

Define psychological safety and explain its significance in the workplace.
Identify the relationship between psychological safety and continuous improvement.

Develop strategies for leaders to cultivate psychological safety within their teams.

Understand methods to assess and sustain psychological safety in the organization.
