Unity Condition No. 1:
Psychological Safety
"As humans, we are very good at
reading cues; we are incredibly attentive to interpersonal phenomena... we have
a place in our brain that's always worried what people think of us, especially
higher ups. As far as the brain is concerned, if our social system rejects us,
we could die. Given our sense of danger is so natural and automatic,
organisations have to do some pretty special things to overcome that natural
trigger."
