BUILDING SAFETY AS A SERVANT LEADER: NAVIGATING CONFLICT IN A WAY THE IMPROVES YOUR TEAM

Along with shared goals, tools, and boundaries, psychological safety is a pre-requisite for a truly self-organizing team. Research shows that if you can create psychological safety for your teams, they will be more creative, willing to take risks, and speak their mind — just the types of behavior that lead to market breakthroughs and reduce project risk.

But how do you cultivate psychological safety on a team? Is conflict ever ok? Yes it is, and it’s necessary! This workshop will give participants the chance to practice exercises for building safety and navigating conflict in a fun setting.
