What if being nice is actually hurting your team?In this conversation, world-renowned leadership expert Amy Edmondson joins Owlcast to explore psychological safety, why it is often misunderstood, and how leaders can create environments where people speak up, learn faster, and perform better. The discussion covers leadership, learning, uncertainty, and the future of work in an increasingly digital world..Key Topics:•    Psychological safety is not about being nice. It's about creating an environment where people can speak up, challenge ideas, and learn together.•    In today's complex world, leaders don't need all the answers. They need to orchestrate knowledge and create conditions where the best ideas can emerge.•    The fastest way to encourage future participation is to respond to employee input with appreciation and a forward-looking mindset.•    Effective leaders create psychological safety by clarifying purpose and acknowledging uncertainty.•    Digital workplaces create additional barriers to speaking up, making intentional leadership practices even more important.
