Part 2 of 4
“There are no stupid questions.”
I am sure all of us can remember a time when we were younger and we asked a “stupid question” that our peers made fun of. Although we didn’t realize it at the time, we internalized that feeling and learned not to do it again. Likewise, high-performing teams require a work environment that encourages growth.
Creating a psychologically safe environment starts with you. A huge part of being a leader is showing that you are, and continue to be, open to learning. Don’t be shy! Share your mistakes and challenges. Tapping into the collective wisdom means you need to do your part in being vulnerable.
What else can you do?
It is much easier to embrace change when we are all invited to help fix the problem. When someone shares an idea, I make sure not to dismiss or shame them, no matter how unrealistic their proposal might be. That said, it is possible to demonstrate how to ask for clarification when an idea is shared.
