Has Psychological Safety Made Your Team More Fragile?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Psychological safety has become one of the most talked-about ideas in leadership, but what if we've misunderstood it?
In this episode, Dr. Jeremy Pollack explores how the popular interpretation of psychological safety may actually be making teams less resilient by encouraging conflict avoidance rather than healthy disagreement. Drawing from neuroscience, organizational psychology, and conflict research, he explains why real psychological safety isn't about eliminating discomfort; it's about building relationships that can withstand it.
You'll learn:
- Why psychological safety was never meant to mean "comfort at all costs"
- How avoiding conflict weakens your team's resilience over time
- What happens in the nervous system during disagreement
- The difference between emotional comfort and relational safety
- A simple question every leader should ask to gauge whether their team is truly psychologically safe
If your team values harmony but struggles with honest conversations, this episode offers a practical framework for building trust that holds up under pressure, not just when everything is going well.
