The Manager's Guide to Psychological Safety presents a simple and easy-to-understand way to achieve psychological safety in organizations. Psychological safety is an organizational culture where no one will be punished for asking questions, speaking their minds, reporting mistakes and talking about them, and expressing concerns or proposing new ideas without being asked.

While relevant topics such as change, communication, motivation, and safety are covered, the concern is with the people in organizations—assuring that they are treated with dignity and respect for the benefit of all thus creating for them a psychologically safe place in which to work.

Approaches to achieving psychological safety are presented and present a unique framework (V-REEL®) for analyzing the organization and its internal environment that may hinder or help it become psychologically safe. Psychological safety, once attained, enhances the organization's reputation and its bottom line.
