Do abrasive and bullying leaders prevent psychological safety?
In our workplaces, there is an ever-increasing need for companies to be able to quickly pivot and innovate. This is being matched by an increasing expectation for employee psychosocial safety at work.
These are two concepts that are intrinsically matched and are significantly negatively influenced by leaders who use abrasive and/or bullying behaviours.
In this presentation, we explore:
psychological safety and abrasive and bullying behaviours
the negative impacts of abrasive and bullying leaders on psychological safety
strategies to manage those leaders that enhance psychological safety leading to better workplace productivity and outcomes
