From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources.

“Hey, I’m told I am a ‘Snowflake.’ What’s your label?” “Oh, I am an ‘Iceberg,’ thanks for asking. Nice to meet you!” In theory, most of us agree that stereotyping undermines trust and respect in the workplace , contradicts social ideals, dehumanizes individuals, manifests bias, and often leads to lost opportunities and connections. We can’t know and adapt to an individual we perceive through the lens of a label.

When you think of Psychological Safety , what comes to mind? There’s a widespread misconception that it simply means allowing your team to take risks, make mistakes, speak up, and express opinions without fear of judgment. This is not what psychological safety is, and this misconception leads organizations to struggle with accurately measuring it. In reality, psychological safety is a much broader and deeper concept than just interpersonal risk-taking and a speak up culture.

Early in my career, I worked for a leader who had a lot of emotional intensity. Extreme highs and lows were common. Every day, I would arrive at work walking on eggshells, waiting to see what kind of mood he was in because that would determine the kind of day I had. After about a year, it suddenly dawned on me that my response to him was very unhealthy.
