Brave Teams - by Amanda Potter (Paperback)

About the Book

The missing link between psychological safety and high performance. Eight habits that change how teams think and perform

Book Synopsis

Translate psychological safety into everyday leadership habits that strengthen trust, sharpen decisions and deliver commercial advantage.

We talk a lot about psychological safety, yet many leaders struggle to translate it into meaningful action. This book reveals how to do exactly that. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioural science, psychometric research and real-world case studies from global organisations, Dr Amanda Potter demonstrates how small, everyday habits shape the climate people experience at work, ultimately determining whether teams speak up, innovate, make better decisions and deliver exceptional performance.

Psychological safety is more than a wellbeing initiative; it is a measurable condition for innovation, accountability and sustained performance. And at a time when change, AI disruption and competing demands are putting teams under more strain than ever, it's never been more important.

Discover how to:

• Build the trust, purpose and belonging that make candid conversations possible - because silence is your biggest business risk;
• Create inclusive, cognitively diverse teams where challenge improves decisions;
• Build the capability of human judgement for critical thinking and better decisions;
• Put eight evidence-based habits into practice for stronger teams and better business outcomes.
