The importance of psychological safety, particularly in high-pressure industries like architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), is having a moment—and for good reason! This episode of The Shortlist delves into how stress, especially secondary stress from pressure and insecurity, can negatively affect communication and team dynamics.
Middle of Sixers Wendy, Allison, and Becky share their own experiences and emphasize that psychological safety—defined as a workplace environment based on respect, trust, and open communication—is essential for fostering creativity, collaboration, and overall well-being. In short, when people feel safe, they perform better, which in turn leads to better outcomes for businesses, whether it's the bottom line or the quality of work produced.
