The Culture Code: Why Marketing Teams Need Psychological Safety

Understanding Psychological Safety in Marketing Teams

Psychological safety is a cornerstone for effective team culture, particularly in marketing workplaces where creativity and collaboration are paramount. Coined by Harvard Business School professor Amy Edmondson, psychological safety refers to a shared belief that the team is safe for interpersonal risk-taking. In such environments, team members feel comfortable expressing their ideas, concerns, or mistakes without fear of negative consequences. This principle is essential for fostering an open dialogue, innovation and ultimately, achieving collective goals and objectives.
