How Psychological Safety Relates To Performance Standards
Comfort Zone:A comfort
zone is a psychological
state in which things
feel familiar to a person and they are at ease and (perceive they are) in
control of their environment, experiencing low levels of anxiety and stress. In this zone, a steady level of performance
is possible. People are open and collegial but not challenged. On teams, they
fail to make major strides.
Learning Zone:
In a learning zone, team members
experience high accountability and high psychological safety. This is the
ideal learning environment for innovation and growth, because even though
members are responsible for their actions, their team offers continuous
support. People collaborate and learn in the service of high performance,
getting complex and innovative work done.
Apathy Zone:
With low psychological safety and low
accountability, team members fall into the apathy zone. There are no
repercussions for mistakes, teams lack adequate communication and support, and
individuals struggle to care about their work. People show up at work with
their hearts and minds elsewhere; choosing self protection over exertion.
Anxiety
Zone:
Team members experience low
psychological safety and high accountability. Communication breaks down and
when mistakes are made, people are often too scared of punishment or
humiliation to take responsibility. Opportunities for learning and innovation
are scarce. People are reluctant to offer ideas, try new things, or ask for help,
putting the work at risk.
