Ever wondered how to foster psychological safety within a team and why it’s crucial for effective teamwork? What if you could learn from a former military leader turned researcher who specializes in this very topic?

Welcome to this episode, where I have the pleasure of speaking with Bård Fyhn, a PhD scholar at NHH Norwegian School of Economics and a former leader in the Norwegian Armed Forces. Bård's research focuses on psychological safety, which he defines as the shared belief within a team that it is safe to take interpersonal risks. His passion lies in making research accessible and practical, and his insights are invaluable for anyone looking to improve team dynamics.

Imagine understanding the key elements that make a team feel safe to take risks and be vulnerable with each other.
