OERt Masterclass​​ | Psychological Safety, Leadership Accountability

Thank you to those that joined us at our recent session on Psychological Safety, Leadership Accountability, and Workforce Engagement. We hope you walked away with practical insights to apply stronger leadership, build trust with your workplace and demonstrate care and accountability.​​

Special Thanks​

Thank you to Clive and the GYST Consulting team for presenting an engaging and inspiring session. The powerful session that explored what it truly means to lead with trust, care, and accountability. ​

Event Recap

We were introduced to five transformative ideas that challenge traditional, compliance-driven mindsets and ideas to approach and encourage a shift towards proactive safety leadership based on trust:​

• Trust arrives on foot but leaves on horseback​
• Behaviours are not the problem; behaviours are expressions of the problem​
• We can blame or we can learn - we can't do both​
• We can't fix a secret​
• A policy can't make it safe to speak up​

Key Takeaways​

We explored the role of psychological safety as the foundation of high-performing teams, and the importance of leadership accountability, engagement, and cultural maturity. Clive left us with several practical reflections:​

• Provide your leaders with the training they need to build psychologically safe teams - don’t assume they know how.​
• Transactional care isn’t enough - demonstrate it.​
• Practice humble enquiry: ask more, tell less.​
• After incidents, adopt a restorative - not retributive - approach​
