Psychological Safety for the Engineering Leadership Team at Buut
For the (new) Engineering Leadership Team at Buut, we designed a Psychological Safety Workshop. The ELT already showed strong alignment around its purpose and ambitions. The next step was to strengthen the trust, openness and shared ownership needed to turn that ambition into action. We've used theory (based on Amy Edmondson's work) to enable an open dialogue in the team, worked on current challenges and had fun during the HAKA clinic lead by Mau Simeona.
We open the session with a (30 min) Haka session led by Mau Simeona, a New Zealand rugby champion.
A physical, shared experience gets the team out of their usual leadership roles and into something they have to navigate together. We then use the experience as a starting point to explore what we noticed about trust, leadership, participation, support and moving together under pressure
A Bravely Psychologist (Josine Muurling) facilitates the session in real time, adapting the conversation and exercises based on what emerges from the team.
Psychological models and research insights are introduced only where they add value, and immediately translated into reflection, dialogue and practice. This follows Bravely's broader approach of moving away from abstract theory towards real-life learning.
