About

Amy Edmondson coined the term psychological safety and spent her career turning it from an idea into something organizations can measure and build. Her research explains why high-performing teams report more errors, not fewer, and what leaders do to make that possible. Her work at Harvard Business School underpins most modern thinking on learning organizations and intelligent failure.

Ideas they're known for

  • Psychological safety as a measurable team condition
  • Intelligent failure separated from avoidable failure
  • Leaders who ask questions before they give answers
