Psychological safety is a major topic today, but does it mean that fear has no place in the workplace? What about those employees—neurodiverse or otherwise—for whom certain fears are natural and unavoidable? While it is more popular to discuss ways to improve resilience and trust, maybe there is a time and a place to discuss fear more directly. Rather than eliminating fear entirely, perhaps a better approach lies in understanding and managing it.
If you support team members who experience workplace fears, or you’re a manager concerned about the types and levels of fear within your organisation, join us for our free, online Café Conversation: “The Management of Fear.”
Key Questions We’ll Explore:
- Is there a positive relationship between fear and psychological safety?
- When does fear serve a constructive purpose within an organisation, and when does it become harmful? What would happen if fear were entirely removed from your organisation?
- Under what conditions could fear increase employee loyalty or motivation?
- Can certain types of fear drive creative problem-solving? (and perhaps more obviously – when does fear damage problem solving?)
- If fear is inevitable in organisations, what kinds should leaders aim to cultivate, manage, or avoid?
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion where we’ll explore these questions and more, helping leaders navigate the complex dynamics of fear in the workplace.
