Publisher's summary

The Safety Effect will help you replicate the conditions shared by Google's most effective teams.

Psychological safety is the primary driver of team effectiveness at Google, more important than seniority, individual team member performance, and hundreds of other variables. When we work in a psychologically safe workplace, we comfortably share ideas for improvement, ask for help when we need it, and celebrate our successes. We proactively identify and solve challenges while educating each other about what has worked well, helping us to regularly reach and exceed our goals. As a result, each of us is happier, our teams are more productive and our companies thrive.

Psychological safety seems simple and might feel like common sense, but it can be incredibly difficult to implement. Despite decades of research showing its benefits within Google and across industries, companies continue to fail to create psychologically safe spaces. Employee happiness and team performance suffer, inhibiting many companies from realizing their potential greatness.

Author David Moerlein was a top rated manager at Google for more than a decade, leading hundreds of people across ten global offices. In The Safety Effect, David invites you into a world of psychological safety. His stories and Google-proven tools inspire personal reflection and promote action within and beyond our teams, helping each of us to achieve increased happiness, productivity and success.
