Normalizing Failure: How To Create Psychological Safety to Make Your Organization Successful
Room B2590 & Virtual
In our day-to-day work lives, it is common to want to celebrate our successes. Social Media (e.g., LinkedIn) is rife with examples of people boosting themselves and others, describing the successes and accomplishments that they’ve achieved. Similarly, résumés and CVs are full of our achievements, and, as these tend to serve as our professional introductions to one another, it’s no wonder many are afraid to talk about those not-so-successful outcomes that are as much a part of workplace life as the successes we achieve.
This is where normalizing failure comes into play! Creating an environment where team members are comfortable trying new initiatives, developing creative, innovative ways of tackling challenges, and then determining what works, figuring out what doesn’t, and helping others learn from the lessons we experience, helps to build a psychologically safe environment that people crave working in and that often celebrates ever-better achievements.
Learn creative ways to make this happen in your environment… even if you have been afraid to fail before.
