]Principles are aspects or elements of truth in leadership; they are eternal and unchanging constants. [8:24]Psychological safety is inexpensive authenticity: being yourself without any economic, emotional, social and political expense. [12:13]Safety is holistic, Tim says. After a devastating experience early in his career, he realized it was his stewardship to help create, curate and protect a culture that would provide psychological safety to the members of an organization. It’s a sacred stewardship every leader has, he adds. [14:51]“Innovation is never easy to think of; it requires creative abrasion and constructive dissent processes that rely on high intellectual friction and low social friction,” Marcel quotes from Tim’s book. Tim describes the terms and shares that each one builds on the next. [16:16]The four stages of psychological safety are: Inclusion Safety, Learner Safety, Contributor Safety, and Challenger Safety. Tim describes and explains each stage, sharing the research behind them.[19:18]The absence of psychological safety eventually negatively affects one’s mental health and emotional well-being. It poses a hindrance to personal and professional development, which profoundly impacts one’s overall sense of self. [30:50]Marcel asks if there can be too much unhealthy psychological safety. Tim responds that sometimes people misinterpret psychological safety as absence of accountability. Rather, it involves a high tolerance for candor, and maintains respect and mutual accountability. [31:32]Psychological safety is a form of industrialized love. [37:09]Leading a team in a virtual environment requires a high tolerance for candor.

[43:50]A leader is not based on title or position or authority; leaders must recognize that their influence is profound and that if they do not lead the way, then they will only get in the way.
