A Culture of Safety: Building a work environment where people can think, collaborate and innovate
Safety.
You, like all humans, have a hardwired biological need for it. This is why you’re reading the description of this book. Your body and brain were drawn to the word—safety. Unfortunately, most of us don’t feel a sense of safety at work, and when we don’t feel safe our operating IQ drops by half.
Yes, half.
Without safety, we literally can’t think, collaborate or innovate. Yet in times of constant change and increasing complexity, building a culture of safety is an imperative for organizational survival. In these pages, you will learn how to build a culture of safety in your organization. It starts with understanding the three types of safety, then shifting your leadership from fear to safety, and finally implementing specific practices to build safety in your team and organization.
With the help of neuroscience, immediately applicable exercises, and step-by-step practices, all leaders will be able to begin building a culture of safety.

A través de ejemplos, la autora va metiéndonos en la idea de lo que significa una cultura de seguridad. Entender que es el miedo y cómo afecta en la forma como pensamos nos ayuda a establecer que cosas van bien en nuestros espacios de trabajo y que cosas débemos mejorar.
Particularmente, la parte más interesante es cuando se aborda el “triángulo del drama”.
Se puede poner en práctica todas las recomendaciones que da.

TL;DR: safety is good. There isn't much here you won't already know if you've been paying any attention to culture, psychological safety, etc. for the past 10 years. This could be valuable as a high-level entry point, though, if you are new to the concepts.
