The Fearless Organization
Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth
Build teams where people speak up without fear.
Edmondson argues that psychological safety, the shared belief that it is safe to take interpersonal risks, is the foundation of high-performing teams. Drawing on decades of research, she shows how candor, questions, and admitting mistakes drive learning and innovation. The book offers a framework leaders can use to make speaking up the norm.
Startups live or die on fast learning, honest feedback, and surfacing problems early, all of which depend on psychological safety. Founders who create a culture where people raise concerns and admit failures will iterate faster and avoid hidden risks.
