2 Article Summary Marian Evans' 2022 article for Forbes titled "Psychological Safety: Building High- Performing Teams" clarifies psychological safety's critical role in creating high-performing teams. Evans highlights that psychological safety, a term introduced by Amy C. Edmondson at the Harvard Business School, is characterized by beliefs among team members that they can share ideas, be bold, and err without fear of retribution or condemnation. Trust and openness are the basic pillars that underlie successful teamwork and innovation. The article brings to the reader’s attention Google’ Project Aristotle, a two-year project that was aimed at determining what makes up high performing team dynamics. Despite the earlier presumptions that technical skills or individual capabilities were key determinants of team effectiveness, psychological safety was found to trump them in this study. The teams where members felt secure enough to take chances, freely offer ideas, and contribute without fear of punishment outperformed the others. It highlights the importance of psychological safety among employees as it promotes increased employee engagement and retention—an issue that is especially critical in addressing high turnover rates within an organization. Leaders should create an atmosphere in which employees feel welcomed, respected, and empowered to be themselves, creating a sense of belongingness and loyalty. Additionally, the article provides pragmatic recommendations for leaders to evaluate and increase psychological safety in their teams. Evans recommends enquiring about tolerance for mistakes, incentives to take risks, and equal valorization of opinions in a team. By creating an

3 environment that celebrates trial and error, the culture of a company must nurture curiosity and errors as learning opportunities. Relevance to the Material: This article is consistent with the course material on interpersonal behavior and processes in work teams and groups by emphasizing how important psychological safety is to team dynamics. Themes of group dynamics, including the creation and maintenance of trust within teams and open communication, are some central aspects that have been associated with optimizing team performance. Leaders can cultivate psychological safety within their teams by adopting the principles outlined in this article, which include; communication, inclusion of diverse views and ideas, as well as an encouraging workplace environment. The article is a useful supplement that adds new perspectives to and supports concepts discussed in class.
