Kind words from early readers

Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership, Harvard Business School Author of The Fearless Organization

“Psychological safety is a foundation for high-performance teams - yet in most workplaces, the costs of speaking up feel greater than the costs of holding back. This field book helps change that calculus. Neil captures the nuances of psychological safety practices in a way that is practical, engaging, and grounded in real leadership experience. His stories, humility, humor, and insights make the hard work of learning both accessible & worthwhile.”
