Hostile environments are easy to spot. If you notice your team members being overly agreeable or quiet in meetings, that’s a bad sign.
When employees fear their thoughts or ideas will be met with repercussions, they tend to behave this way, which means you are likely operating in a fear culture.
Employees who do not feel psychologically safe are more prone to error, and less likely to take risks, participate in healthy conflict, or grow in their roles.
Contrarily, team members that feel psychologically safe are productive, innovative, and enjoy a sense of belonging.
