This book provides practical advice on how business and technology leaders, as well as HR professionals, can use psychological safety to create and cultivate happy, productive, and high-performing teams within their organisations. It includes fascinating research, controversial approaches, and a wide variety of international case studies. Businesses across all industries today recognise that in order to remain competitive in the twenty-first century, they must adopt new innovative technologies and techniques such as artificial intelligence, automation, digital platforms, and agile. The distinctively human benefits that occur from a well-functioning, collaborative team are neglected, and people become demotivated and unduly reliant on the quantitative benefits of technology when too much emphasis is placed on digital transformation. The author reveals the full potential of modern teams in People Before Tech by emphasising the need of psychological safety. This innovative strategy creates a powerful group dynamic that encourages teams to take risks, develop, and create without fear of repercussions.
