Great conversation & plenty to think about. I like the notion of working on developing this within my own 'bubble' in my organisation...there are things I can do...small steps etc. It's definitely linked to workplace culture. Sadly I think many bosses are just oblivious to the lack of psychological safety ....they are so engrossed in vision & strategy but then wonder why staff morale is low.
