Developing cultures in which individual team members feel safe—meaning that they can bring difficult issues to the surface and explore challenging ideas together – is foundational to effective teamwork. In this module, you will explore one of the most important contributions to our study of teams and organizations developed in recent years: the idea of psychological safety. You will then explore the importance of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging and how to cultivate these elements in teams. Then you will explore how this relates to creating ethical cultures, cultures that facilitate ethical decision-making. Finally, you will explore the challenges of hierarchy that are innate to teams, developing a better understanding of how to work within hierarchy for effectively leading cultures of safety.
