What is a Psychological Safe Culture, and How Can Leaders Create It?

When I worked in financial services during the credit crunch, I was involved in many redundancies. There were occasions that I felt I couldn’t speak up about things that weren’t true to my values. That feeling of not being able to speak up is the essence of a lack of psychological safety at work.
