Description

Picture a workplace where every idea is welcome, mistakes are opportunities for growth, and diverse perspectives are genuinely valued. Daniel Shore, Ph.D., a behavioral scientist and cofounder of MultiTeam Solutions, discusses how psychological safety helps build healthy, high-performing teams. Shore also works through a few real-world workplace scenarios where conflicts arise and emotions run high — to model how he’d approach each challenge in a way that fosters psychological safety and civility while driving accountability, collaboration, and growth.
