Psychological Safety Diagnostic
Psychological Safety Diagnostic
Better Leaders.Psychological safety is the single biggest predictor of team performance, innovation, and retention. This short diagnostic will tell you exactly where your team stands — and what to do next.
In a world moving faster than most organisations can keep up with, one thing is becoming clear: the teams that thrive aren't just those with the best strategy. They are the ones where intellectual honesty and open communication are the default. When people feel they can contribute ideas, challenge the status quo, and admit mistakes without social or professional friction, an organisation becomes more resilient. That is the essence of psychological safety — it is the bedrock of high-performance cultures and the primary driver of innovation in uncertain times.
Based on Timothy Clark's pioneering research, we assess your team across four progressive stages. Each one builds on the last.
People feel valued, that their thoughts and experiences matter, and that they are treated fairly.
People feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and give and receive feedback in service of growth.
People feel safe to share their thoughts and ideas and engage in solving complex challenges.
People feel safe to challenge the status quo, question existing norms, systems, ideas and conventions.
How it works: You'll see 20 statements about your team.
For each one, rate how strongly you agree or disagree — from "Strongly Disagree" to
"Strongly Agree." Answer based on what you genuinely observe day-to-day,
not what you aspire to. Honest answers produce the most useful results.
