Ep 43 - Is summer your opportunity to increase the psychological safety in your team?

In this episode of Lead the Room, Briony and Lyndsey reveal a counterintuitive leadership strategy that transforms high-performing teams during the quieter summer months. They share how smart leaders use natural workplace rhythms, such as when calendars are lighter and team members rotate through holidays, to deliberately build psychological safety that becomes the foundation for exceptional team performance. Through personal experiences and practical insights, they demonstrate how shifting to informal check-ins creates space for quieter voices to emerge and contribute fresh perspectives. They challenge the conventional wisdom that team development requires lengthy away days or complex interventions, showing instead how intentional leadership during summer months can yield profound cultural shifts that last well beyond September.

Key Takeaways:

Summer Creates Natural Conditions for Psychological Safety: High-performing teams leverage the relaxed rhythm of summer to build stronger foundations of trust and openness. When dominant voices are away, quieter team members naturally step forward, revealing hidden insights and capabilities that leaders can nurture year-round.
Informal Leadership Approaches Unlock Team Potential: Replacing formal meeting structures with shorter, casual check-ins during summer allows leaders to discover different team dynamics and individual strengths. This approach helps identify when team members feel they have a "position" rather than a voice, signaling opportunities to improve psychological safety across the entire team.
Strategic Team Reviews During Quiet Periods Drive Performance: Conducting mini team reviews with smaller groups during summer holidays provides honest feedback that might not emerge in full team settings. Leaders who capture these insights and intentionally integrate them when everyone returns in September create lasting improvements in collaboration, innovation, and team effectiveness.
