Current lecture:
Creating a Trusting Learning Culture Together!
Trust within teams is crucial for a well-being and collaborative culture that drives innovation. Studies from Harvard show that trusting teams have 74% lower stress levels, 50% higher productivity, and 70% higher engagement compared to teams lacking trust. Failing to actively strengthen trust within teams risks a threatening culture of silence where employees hold back, avoid challenges, refrain from contributing ideas, and fail to speak up when something is wrong.
When Google sought answers to what contributes to their highest-performing teams, Google’s People Analytics, in their study called “Project Aristotle,” found that psychological safety is the most reliable and crucial factor for a high-performing team. Organizational research has further identified psychological safety as a critical factor in understanding what drives collaboration, growth, and early risk identification. High psychological safety teams are characterized by their positive effects and enable rapid adaptation to changes like new market conditions, customer demands, and internal organizational changes.
In Malin Rapp’s lecture, you will receive thought-provoking content on how leaders and teams can create psychological safety and learning, how they can perceive opportunities, support each other, and take responsibility in changing and challenging situations. As a participant, you will also have the opportunity to try out concrete exercises and approaches to increase psychological safety, learning, and behavior change within the team and the entire culture.
The lecture addresses areas and questions such as:
What is psychological safety, and why is it especially important in times of change and uncertainty?
Self-leadership is a prerequisite for creating trusting and secure teams; how do we build it?
How do we quickly strengthen psychological safety through self-leadership in both new and established teams?
What responsibilities lie with leaders versus employees, and what can I do from my role to contribute to a learning culture?
Concrete tools to rapidly create psychological safety within and between teams.
