There’s a paradox about organizational flourishing in a VUCA world. When things are Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous it’s unlikely that leaders will experience their operating environment as particularly safe. Ironically, research from Harvard’s Amy Edmondson shows that psychological safety is the very thing that enables others to access the higher brain structures that lead to market breakthroughs.
This session will explore the neurophysiology of psychological safety and how it can help leaders, teams and organisations access new levels of innovation and growth. It will also explore the role mindfulness and compassion practices can play in the vertical development of leaders capable of transforming the organisations they lead and the world we live in.
