The key prerequisite of every workplace community and functioning team is psychological safety – the shared experience that it is possible to take risks without fear of being questioned or laughed at.
When realized, psychological safety enables everything that we as an organization strive for together. On the other hand, when there is no psychological security, achieving common goals can become surprisingly difficult.
A leader plays a special role in building psychological safety and trust. The person in charge can influence the level of psychological safety with their communication and actions, for better or for worse.

Effective interaction and communication for leaders
Interaction is an important leadership skill that can be practiced and learned. As a manager, it is frustrating to end up in situations where misunderstandings or misinterpretations hinder collective success.
As leaders, the key to success is to reflect our own communication and behaviour – often our readiness to understand or utilize differences and people’s individual strengths is critical. Good interaction is based on presence, listening, open questions and giving and receiving feedback, as well as valuing and utilizing differences. Open and honest communication is at the heart of a well functioning organization.

Leading Hybrid Work successfully
Hybrid work has brought new ways of working to many organizations. The new way of working creates both opportunities and challenges. It is worth setting aside time for the planning and improvement of hybrid work periodically. It is beneficial to discuss and optimize, for example, when working face-to-face is important and when, on the other hand, the benefits of remote work can best be used.
Combining in person and remote work requires a lot from the leadership. That is why it is important to define common practices, combinations of remote work and face-to-face work, and effective communication channels for each task.
