The Fearless Organisation

Psychological Safety

Over 20 years of research by Professor Amy Edmondson at Harvard University demonstrates that teams and organizations with higher levels of psychological safety perform better on almost any metric or KPI in comparison to teams and organizations that have low psychological safety.


We help teams and organizations increase psychological safety in order to generate and enable breakthrough business strategy.


We help teams measure psychological safety using the Fearless Organization Scan and identify actionable insight to shift the dial in meaningful ways. We also provide powerful experiential learning on The Leader’s Toolkit to Increase Psychological Safety.

Deliberately Developmental Organisation


Three plateaus in adult mental development

Deliberately Developmental Organisation

“For more than a hundred years, researchers have studied the ways human beings construct reality and have observed how that constructing can become more expansive, less distorted, less egocentric, and less reactive over time…Three adult meaning making systems make sense of the world and operate within it in distinct ways.”

Robert Kegan, Harvard Professor of Adult Learning & Professional Development


Research suggests that not only is it possible to reach higher plateaus of mental complexity, but also such growth correlates with greater effectiveness for CEOs and leaders.

The practices of compassionate leadership and psychological safety move us all in the direction of self-authorship.

And for those who engage in the inner work, the self-transforming mind and its associated capacities are also within reach.

We all have that same innate growth potential. Neuroscience and neuroplasticity now demonstrate our capacity for growth in this way.

As our world continues to become more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) developing these capacities is a key imperative.

For individuals and organizations to survive and flourish these developmental practices are already becoming the differentiator.

Evolution

We are survivors of immeasurable events,
 Flung upon some reach of land,
 Small wet miracles without instructions,
 Only the imperative of change.
