SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Build psychological safety in your team using Simon Sinek's Leaders Eat Last Circle of Safety model and Amy Edmondson's research. Use when a leader says "my team doesn't speak up", "people are afraid to fail", "nobody challenges bad ideas", "people only tell me what I want to hear", "I want my team to take more risks", "there's a blame culture", "people hide mistakes", or "I want to create a safe environment". Also trigger when someone describes a team where postmortems turn into blame sessions, where people stay quiet in meetings and then vent privately, where mistakes are hidden until they become crises, or where the same person speaks 80% of the time in every meeting. Psychological safety is not about comfort - it is the condition that makes high performance possible.
