Psychological Safety at Work: Building Trust, Engagement, and Peak Performance: Strategies for Cultivating Safe, Motivated, and High-Impact Teams
In today's workplace, performance isn't driven by perks, slogans, or surface-level engagement programs. It's driven by something far deeper: the day-to-day experience of feeling safe enough to speak honestly, take risks, admit mistakes, and challenge assumptions without fear of humiliation or retaliation. Psychological safety has become the defining edge of modern leadership, and the organizations that master it consistently outperform those that don't.
Psychological Safety at Work is a clear, research-backed guide to building cultures where people bring their full intelligence, creativity, and initiative to the table. Drawing on modern organizational psychology, real-world case studies, and practical leadership tools, Vivian Harper shows how trust is built, how teams recover from breakdowns, and why high performance always rests on a foundation of interpersonal safety.
You'll learn how to:
Recognize the hidden signals that shape trust, collaboration, and communication
Build leadership habits that create resilient, accountable, high-performing teams
Reduce burnout by designing work environments that support autonomy and clarity
Strengthen team cohesion in hybrid and AI-accelerated workplaces
Handle conflict, feedback, and difficult conversations without damaging relationships
Whether you're a manager, executive, HR professional, or someone shaping team dynamics from any seat, this book gives you the frameworks and language to transform how people work together.
Psychological safety is no longer optional. It's the key differentiator between teams that merely function and teams that excel. This book shows you how to build the latter.
