Send us a message - we'd love to hear from youToday, we're diving into a question that strikes at the heart of workplace dynamics: can a truly great workplace happen without a team-wide effort, or is it solely the leader's responsibility? We draw inspiration from Tom Geraghty's insightful perspective from a recent conversation: "A great workplace is worth working for." We're flipping the usual script on who drives work dynamics and culture. Spoiler: everyone does - for better or worse! We explore why having clear, candid conversations about workplace culture isn't just nice-to-have, but essential. And how sudden shifts, like unexpected return-to-office mandates, can impact employee morale and trust.Inspired by Adam Grant's "Think Again," we tackle the importance of challenging old assumptions and encouraging tough conversations. From small improvements that open the door to big changes, to stories from our own clients on the power of leading by example, this episode is underpinned with practical advice. We'll reveal how safe, respectful dialogue can turn potential conflict into a powerful learning experience. We unlock what it takes to build a workplace where everyone feels invested, valued, and able to thrive.

Send us a message - we'd love to hear from youIn Part 2 of our conversation with Tom Geraghty, we explore the critical role of psychological safety and how leaders can model it for their teams. He explains how creating a psychologically safe environment isn't just about good intentions, but about understanding how your team's lived experiences shape their perception of safety. Tom outlines actionable steps for leaders: from openly discussing psychological safety and being aware of power dynamics, to acknowledging and reinforcing behaviors that foster a safe space.Tom also dives into the cultural and neurodiverse factors that influence how team members perceive psychological safety and why leaders must adapt their approaches to accommodate these differences. Finally, Tom debunks the "reinforcement and punishment" myth, showing how punishing mistakes can silence important feedback and why thanking your team for sharing bad news is crucial. Leadership isn't about avoiding problems but creating an environment where they can be safely addressed.We want to thank the team that continues to support us in producing, editing and sharing our work.

Send us a message - we'd love to hear from youIla and Charles sit down with Tom Geraghty of Psych Safety - a group that works with organizations around the world to achieve improved innovation, better error-handling and prevention, and more resilience by creating and maintaining an environment of psychological safety.Tom starts by diving into the differences between trust and psychological safety, then takes a second, deeper dive into the value of experimentation, failure, and learning. He describes how organizations and industries that have a high cost of failure and those that require extreme safety sensitivity have experienced failure (and it hurt!), as well as the learning that comes from failure and how to mitigate or prevent future failures. Organizations and industries that don't have the same degree of failure consequence haven't necessarily experienced the benefit of learning from things that don't go as planned. Tom shares what it means to be an experimentalist and describes the huge value of focusing the outcome of work on the learning rather than the execution, being less focused on achieving perfection and more concerned with what we can learn. This is the perfect trio to have a very human conversation about how trust intersects with psychological safety in our every day, and they don't shy away from discussing the psychological safety “baggage” we all carry, and how it impacts how we experience new situations. This is Part 1 of a 2 part series with Tom Geraghty. Come back for Part 2 in two weeks, when Tom explains how leaders can achieve psychological safety, taking into account the baggage we all have on our backs.We want to thank the team that continues to support us in producing, editing and sharing our work.

We often frame the work environment as an execution problem rather than a learning problem. If we can reframe it as a learning problem, then we can improve over time. With this new mindset, we can create an environment where it's safer to take acceptable, well defined intelligent risks, suggest new ideas, and admit mistakes.

Workplaces are only as safe as the experience of the least safe person. CEO and Founder of Iterum Tom Geraghty, discusses the need for psychological safety in every organization with Jim Cagliostro.   Episode Introduction    Tom outlines the evolution of psychological safety, why diversity will remain ‘'on paper'' without inclusion, and why high-performing teams possess high degrees of psychological safety. He also explains the principle of the Andon Cord and how behaviors, practices and leadership are the three keys to creating psychologically safe working environments.    Show Topics   Why psychological safety matters The role of the aviation sector and Google's Project Aristotle Psychologically safe workplaces are more inclusive The unique challenges of psychological safety in healthcare Three keys to creating psychologically safe organizations The Andon Cord principle     05:38 Why psychological safety matters Tom explained why psychological safety is a belief that one will not be punished for speaking out.  ‘'So psychological safety has been recognized across multiple studies, a vast array of studies as the foundation, the core necessary but not sufficient element for high performing teams. And it has got a long history. It first emerged in the literature maybe in the 1950s or so, but it wasn't really until the 90s where Amy Edmondson was studying clinical teams, and she was looking at the mistakes that these teams made, and she was separating high performing and low performing clinical teams and looking at the dynamics between them. And she defined and codified psychological safety at that point in her research. That is to say psychological safety is a belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or mistakes. It's essentially a belief that the team is safe for interpersonal risk taking. That means being able to ask questions, to be able to admit your mistakes and ask for help and all that other stuff. But it also means being able to do it in a way that is safe and works for you. So for example, if you have a stutter or a stammer, or if you have a tick, or if you communicate by a sign language or by a written format, that it's safe and okay to do so in the way that resonates and fits you.''   08:02 The role of the aviation sector and Google's Project Aristotle Tom outlined the evolution and impact of psychological safety.  ‘'I think if you look back at domains like aviation, back in the 70s and 80s, aviation was probably one of the first industries to really recognize that as a result of analyzing disasters, they recognized that either poor communication or lack of communication or miscommunication was a primary, if not the primary causal factor in loads of disasters, including things like the Tenerife air disaster and things like that. So aviation has got on board, if you like. Then with cockpit resource management turned into crew resource management, and then we skip forward to the nineties with Amy Edmonton's work. And then in 2013, Google Project Aristotle came up. Julia Rosovsky's team did a bunch of research on teams inside Google and were able to show that psychological safety was the foundation for all high-performing teams in Google. That is to say that all high-performing teams possess high degrees of psychological safety and low-performing teams possessed low levels of psychological safety. There's a clear correlation.''   12:34 Psychologically safe workplaces are more inclusive Tom said if we don't practice inclusion, we will only have diversity on paper, not in reality.  ‘'…we talk a lot about diversity on teams, diversity in organizations, but fundamentally, if we're not practicing, and psychological safety is about the practice of inclusion, if we're not practicing inclusion, then we might have diversity on paper, but we won't in reality. We might have a very diverse group of people who don't feel safe to suggest their ideas or ask for help or ask questions, and that's not true diversity. So I guess that's what I really mean by inclusion, and that's where we're coming from. …..And I should say as well, because that also leans directly into high-performing teams, right? Because a high-performing team is one where we surface all the best ideas or we surface all the ideas, and the best ones come to the surface and get made into reality. And it's also the ones where people are safe to challenge some ideas or some ways of working if we think there's a problem with it or there's a risk to it. And of course, it's through those multitudes of diverse backgrounds and diverse experiences that we can surface that range of ideas and that range of challenges.''   15:01 The unique challenges of psychological safety in healthcare Tom said the potential for serious consequences makes healthcare unique.  ‘' It is certainly unique. In healthcare, we're dealing with grave consequences of failure, patient safety, patient outcomes, life and death situations where, as we were saying earlier, where if an anesthetist or a nurse in an operating theater it doesn't feel safe to point out, "You've left something in the patient or that's the wrong leg", or there's some other concern, then that's going to result in a very bad outcome, which is not necessarily the case in other industries. There are also aspects of sheer demand on people's time, the cognitive load and the physical load and the time burden on people working in healthcare is great, is incredibly high. And what may be even more challenging is that it can be unpredictably high and low. So we go through periods where it's incredibly busy and then maybe less busy later on. We don't necessarily have the luxury as other industries do. We don't necessarily have the luxury of managing how much work we're doing at any one time. And that can result in, as we often see, the patient outcomes are worse when those peaks of workload are at the highest because people are more likely to miss an important step in a process or misread a signal or misread an alarm.''   18:23 Three keys to creating psychologically safe organizations Tom explained why behaviors, practices and leadership involvement are vital to create safe organizations.  ‘' This is the big question, isn't it? So I'm not even sure where to start because there's a few things we'd like to suggest, and we work with organizations to do. First of all is that for the people at the sharp end, for the people at the sharp end of work, we need to talk about behaviors and practices. And we like to separate behaviors and practices. So practices might be things like after-action reviews, debriefs, Schwartz Rounds and things like that. Things that you can name and begin doing and get better at creating feedback loops and things like that to continuously improve. And those practices and those rituals and those ceremonies, and whether creating team charters and social contracts, they can help foster and build psychological safety within our teams, within our organizations. There's also behaviors, and behaviors are the way we do things, those little interactions and the way we communicate, the way we work with each other. And that might mean improving the way we listen. So active listening. It might be non-violent communication. It might mean framing work in different ways. It might mean checking your body language and the way we communicate. All those sorts of micro dynamics and the way we interact with other people. So we can work on behaviors, we can work on practices, and we can do that at the sharp end of work. What we also need to do is speak to leadership and convince leadership that this is something worth doing. This is something worth putting effort into. And that means speaking the language of leadership. That means speaking to their desires, their goals, their objectives, and their fears as well. And in healthcare, the fears are patient deaths and poor patient outcomes and whatever that means for the organization.''   22:49 The Andon Cord principle Tom said thanking people for pulling the Andon cord is the most important part of the process.  ‘'The Andon cord is a principle, a part of the Toyota production system that... is a mechanism for someone who's working on the production line to pull a cord or pull a metaphorical cord nowadays and request help. Stop the line, stop work, request help, because either there's a problem to address, which indicates some upstream fault or some process issue or something else going wrong, or there's simply an opportunity for improvement that they need help with implementing and it's important to address right now. And there are a number of amazing things about the Andon cord. One is that whenever it gets pulled, people are thanked for doing so. And that's probably the most important part of the whole thing, because ….this takes away that interpersonal risk. Well, it doesn't take it away completely, but it mitigates it. So it means that it's a praiseworthy thing to do, and it gets embedded within the culture. And so every time you pull the cord, something gets improved, even if actually it was a false alarm. Because even if there was a false alarm, you're learning about the signals that created that false alarm. What do we need to do to make sure that it's not going to happen again? And it's fantastic. The Andon cord is such a powerful idea that almost every organization we work with adopts the Andon cord in some way, whether it's language or an actual tool or a real physical thing.''   Connect with Lisa Miller on LinkedIn Connect with Jim Cagliostro on LinkedIn Connect with Tom Geraghty on LinkedIn Check out VIE Healthcare and SpendMend    You'll also hear:    Tom's personal experience of dyspraxia and his career history: ‘'….at some point during that process, maybe about a decade ago, I came across the term psychological safety. And for me, that was the light bulb moment.'' How psychological safety has finally come of age: ‘'You've got this conflux of factors coming together with a topic, a field, a phenomenon that is of its time and the need for the growing recognition for psychological safety in … healthcare, in technology, in manufacturing, in aviation, and everywhere else.'' A team or group is only as safe as the least safe person in the group: ‘'In a group of 10 people, you might have… eight people who feel really psychologically safe …. but two people in the group who don't for whatever reason…that group is not what we would call a psychologically safe group.'' Everything is an experiment and a learning opportunity: ‘'The outcome of work should be learning how to do it better next time. And if we reframe work like that, we're almost taking failure off the table because the only experiment that fails is the one we didn't learn from.''   What To Do Next:   Subscribe to The Economics of Healthcare and receive a special report on 15 Effective Cost Savings Strategies.   There are three ways to work with VIE Healthcare:   Benchmark a vendor contract – either an existing contract or a new agreement.

“I think this aspect of psychological safety is probably one of the most interesting that I think about in terms of psychological safety. So first of all, most of us learn management from our managers. We learn what management looks like, we learn what management is through our own managers. And because of the way time and careers work, most of the managers that we have, certainly early in our career, are themselves fairly inexperienced, fairly junior managers. So there's this sort of feedback loop of inexperienced managers teaching inexperienced people how to be inexperienced managers. And so we don't always get exposed to the really, really competent managers and leaders until later on in our career. And that's when we realize, "Oh no, that's not the way we should do things.” - Tom Geraghty In this episode of Control the Room, I had the pleasure of speaking with Tom Geraghty about his journey helping make the world of work a safer, higher performing, more inclusive and equitable place.  He starts with reflections on microaggressions in the workplace.  Later, Tom shares why he helps organizations embrace emergence and experimentation.   We also discuss simple tips for finding the sweet spot between productivity and exploring.  Listen in for thoughts on how and why embracing discomfort and disagreement lead to higher performing teams.

This week's guest is Tom Geraghty Tom runs a business that supports and coaches people and teams in the area of psychological safety. He has created a reputation in this niche, through his work, his online contributions and a very impactful newsletter each week. Tom hasn't come at this topic through what you might think is the traditional and formal psychological route, but from the position of a worker in an environment seeing how leaders misuse their position, create caustic environments and make people feel not only rubbish but inhibited too. And Tom then had sense and will to learn why, how, what and when these environments arise and how he could support people to make things better, to feel safer so that you can unlock their potential and performance. I really enjoyed this conversation with Tom, his deep thinking really added value and I hope you enjoy it too.

I just got home from the IAAPA expo in Orlando, and what I saw was an industry healing. And yet, as we pause this thanksgiving and look around the table, some seats sit empty. Most of us are missing loved ones this year, myself included. Last year, we dedicated our Thanksgiving special to Robbi Lepre, who had recently passed. Most haunts were unable to open at the time, and the vaccines weren't a thing yet. We've come a long way, but there's a still a journey ahead of us. But in re-listening to Robbi's episode, it's crazy how the sentiments from last year, apply today – maybe even more so. So today, I'm replaying last year's special – a celebration of Robbi Lepre. Listen and reflect on where we were, where we are, and where we're going. This special is presented in 4 parts. In Part 1 “Remembering Robbi: Lessons learned from a reluctant haunter” was written and performed by Scott Swenson. “Lepre'-isms” was written by Jeremy Pancoast and performed by Donald Kinsley. “The Future of Immersive Entertainment in The Post-Pandemic World” was written and performed by Ricky Brigante and Sarah Elger. In Part 2, The audio was taken from our 2018 event The Seasonal Attraction Leadership Symposium. Contributors for Part 3 are: Alex Crow, Chris Thomas, David Ruzicka, Dr William Ramsay, Martin Palicki, Todd Hougland, Samantha Grimaldi, Ray Kleim, Leonard Pickel, and Donald Kinsley. In Part 4, we heard from Cindy White, Kim Gromoll, Mike Wallace, Tom Geraghty, and Quan Gan. Subscribe: https://linktr.ee/hauntedattractionnetwork

Houston Kraft is CEO and co-founder of CharacterStrong, an organization dedicated to infusing character, empathy, and connection into education. He is an author, keynote speaker, and curriculum developer. A self-proclaimed kindness advocate, he is passionate about spreading it in meaningful ways. His most recent book, Deep Kindness: A Revolutionary Guide for the Way We Think, Talk, and Act in Kindness, explores kindness as a skill set and competency that can bring revolutionary change. He joins Marcel Schwantes to discuss how kindness can improve our quality of life and shares actionable tips to help us be more kind every day.   Marcel asks Houston why he wrote his recent book. Houston explains that it’s because he appreciates how much words shape our lives. “Language is the vehicle to experiences, emotions, and memories inside our brains, so it stands to reason that the way we think about things is a huge indicator of how we act.” [6:52] Our culture views kindness as a nice-to-have instead of a must-have, according to Houston. We see it as fluffy, so we don’t see the need to develop it in ourselves as a skill. [9:14] “We are experiencing an increase in accountability. People are being seen, watched, exposed, listened to and critiqued more deeply than they have in the past,” Houston remarks. “The bridge that we are now tasked to cross is how to show loving accountability. Accountability without love is condescending; it creates friction without room for growth,” he adds. [15:45] Houston defines forgiveness and describes what it entails. “By extending forgiveness, you’re setting yourself free from holding on to anger and resentment while also setting clear boundaries around the behavior of [who you are forgiving] so it doesn’t violate you again,” Marcel comments. [18:19] Provide a specific constraint to make your goal of kindness more actionable. For example, asking ‘How do I be kind today towards my mom?’ may yield more actionable answers than simply asking ‘How do I be kind today?’ [25:08] “There’s power in scheduling time to worry,” Houston quotes. “Give yourself 15 minutes a day to worry and only do so during that time. So many of us let worry bleed throughout our day which makes the stuff in the background seem bigger and more monstrous.” [33:33] “My mom wrote notes in my lunchbox from kindergarten to 12th grade. They took her 2 minutes every day, and when I look back and add it up, [I realize] it’s the most profound action of love I’ve experienced. The little things are the big things,” Houston shares. [39:39] Marcel welcomes Tom Geraghty, the creator of the Psychological Safety Toolkit, to share insights about the importance of psychological safety in the workplace and why it’s good for business.
