The Role of Psychological Safety on Product Management Teams

Product Chats Podcast

“Establishing psychological safety needs to be an explicit goal. It is something that you need to do continuously. ” – Dan Corbin In this episode, our host, Rebecca Kalogeris, is joined by Pragmatic Instructor, Dan Corbin, to dissect the concepts of psychological safety and inclusivity within a team setting. Psychological safety is more than just a buzzword; it's the foundation for open dialogue, creativity, and mutual respect within teams. Dan explains, "If you can show where you are vulnerable, where you admit you don't know everything, and where you even admit a mistake, that sort of lowers the barriers for other people to be able to open up themselves." They discuss:

• Strategies for creating inclusive and secure environments
• The importance of modeling vulnerability and admitting mistakes
• Practical ways to assess and measure psychological safety
• The role of working agreements in establishing behavioral norms
• The impact of psychological safety on team productivity and individual well-being
