Title: Supervisors Seminar: Psychological Safety + Intentionally Creating the Conditions for Team Success
Instructor: Maggie Denna, UGA Training and Development Senior Manager    
Location: via Zoom
Description
When people feel safe to contribute their ideas, teams thrive and innovation flourishes. Researchers have named this phenomenon psychological safety and claim it is the single most important predictor of team success. It is the necessary underpinning for learning, strategic decisions, and growth. In this session, participants will learn what psychological safety is (and what it is not), why it is crucial for teams and organizations in todays higher education context, and how we can foster it to do more than we ever imagined. Those who choose to attend this session will take an assessment to measure the level of psychological safety they currently experience in their individual workplaces. They will also be able to begin brainstorming ways to actively build psychological safety on their teams regardless of their title or position. Whether you an aspiring supervisor, new supervisor, or very experienced, this seminar is for you!
