In a revealing conversation, Christian Grätsch, psychologist and Managing Director of berliner team, explains why psychological safety in companies is far more than a “nice-to-have”. In an interview with Isabell, he provides a sound insight into the fundamentals, relevance and transformative power of this concept. Because when employees dare to speak openly about mistakes, uncertainties and new ideas – without fear of negative consequences – fertile ground is created for creativity, innovation and genuine collaboration.
Christian brings practical perspectives – including from Amy Edmondson’s research and Timothy R. Clark’s “Four Levels of Psychological Safety”. He shows how companies can create stable foundations for sustainable collaboration and performance through trust, practiced openness and a constructive error culture. Particularly impressive: the example of Google’s “Project Aristotle”, which impressively demonstrates the central importance of psychological safety for successful teams.
