Really liked the point about culture being shown through daily actions, not posters. How do you actually measure whether a team feels psychologically safe?
Haute Culture!

@[Hanners] well, that's tricky because humans don't like being observed too much. There are some standard questions you can use to explore psychological safety, but if you survey people when they aren't safe, they likely won't fill the survey in, or they will moderate their answers.
Here are the questions DORA use to asses a "Generative Culture".
The challenges with asking people if they feel psychologically safe means leaders who want to foster this type of culture have to start by paying attention. Does anyone ever deliver bad news? What happens when they do? Who makes decisions and how much ceremony is wrapped around it?
You can use the DORA questions as a field-guide, rather than a survey.
