Safety, Growth and Performance (SGP)

All organizations ultimately want performance because that is what produces results. What we have come to realize is that sustained performance requires growth, and in order to have an environment conducive to growth, people need to feel safe.

The term psychological safety was coined by Harvard Business School professor Amy Edmondson. She defines it as “a shared belief that the team is safe for interpersonal risk-taking.” Establishing a climate of psychological safety allows space for people to speak up and share their ideas.
