The how-to guide for transformative leadership
Every employee, at every level, wants to feel seen, heard, and respected. If we don’t feel safe, we can’t be our best selves or do our most creative work. This is why leaders must ensure psychological safety for everyone in their team. Whether you’re a manager, CEO, or entrepreneur, The Psychological Safety Playbook is the guide you need to lead your team to the highest levels of performance and innovation.
The Psychological Safety Playbook invites you to explore twenty-five specific actions that will create more psychological safety in your workplace. These are all moves that every leader can adopt and practice. Each move features a description of why to try it, instructions on how to do it, and a nutshell summary. You can start anywhere in the playbook—all the plays and moves are self-contained!
Written by Karolin Helbig, a highly respected executive mindset coach with a doctorate in human genetics and extensive consulting experience, and Minette Norman, a sought-after leadership consultant with thirty years of experience in the tech sector, The Psychological Safety Playbook is the essential guide for leaders who are committed to fostering psychological safety in their teams.
In their combined years of business and applied practice, the authors have continually observed how creating a high-performing, innovative workforce starts with building a foundation of respect and shared humanity. When we hold back our true thoughts because we’re afraid of the consequences, everyone misses out. By contrast, when we can ask a naïve question, propose a wild idea, or share our honest emotions—that’s when psychological safety fuels team performance.

A must-read for any leader who cares about building their leadership presence!
The book concisely packs in powerful wisdom and science-backed theory into easily digestible and fun psychological safety ‘plays’, each with very practical actions to help leaders put these best-practices into action.
I particularly loved the section on Mastering the Art of Listening – one of the most comprehensive yet accessible guides to effective listening that speaks to the depth of what true leadership presence entails.
THANK YOU to the authors, Karolin and Minette, for this important contribution to making the world of leadership more human!

A successful organization needs its parts to work well. Leading it requires team members to speak up and contribute without fear. A strong leader does not have to prove herself, but will listen with genuine interest. This book, short but insightful, shows how, not just why to do this, with practical, proven steps.

There is a big hype around this topic and no one can show you clear examples on how to build pyschological safety. This book gives tips on communication skills, but if you have already completed a coaching training as a leader, there is no new info about it…

I love this book. Psychological Safety is a key component of any healthy organisational culture. However, it’s a subject that can felt heavy and overwhelming. This books succeeds in exploring a practical framework for bringing Psychological Safety to life, in an accessible and light touch way.
