Research has shown that psychological safety is crucial for diverse teams to thrive. Leaders play a significant role in fostering this environment, as Harvard Business Review indicates that they can influence up to 70% of employees’ feelings of belongingness and psychological safety. Google’s 2017 study on high-performing teams also highlighted the importance of psychological safety in team success.
