Building and maintaining psychological safety
To create an environment where team members feel safe to express themselves, take risks, and be vulnerable. Psychological safety is built through consistent behavior over time: • Respond constructively when people take interpersonal risks • Frame failures as learning opportunities rather than occasions for blame •… An ongoing team scaffold (team culture), run continuous, not as a one-off session.

Team leader role (Jordan): Model vulnerability. Respond constructively when people speak up, especially when they share difficult messages. Never punish honesty. Notice and address patterns that undermine safety.
