I just love the passion, clarity and insights that Chris shares, drawing on his own experiences and a diverse range of research including that of the big boys, such as Google, to present the same findings: that the most successful teams, no matter what they did, created psychological safety - it was perceived a safe environment to risk 'out there' ideas, ask questions, reveal understanding......Fear of judgement, fear of punishment was removed and instead an atmosphere of affirmation, celebration and acknowledgement created. He calls on us to draw on our courage to step up, speak out and contribute; to take the lead, giving others the confidence then to speak with integrity. Superb job, Chris Strouthopoulos, thankyou.

Well articulated! The best teamwork comes from men who are working independently towards one goal in unison

Absolutely great video. So many concepts to digest presented in a way that allows for connection between each. Excited to share with our leadership team and try to build in to our leadership practice.

Absolutely a great video to those people who don't have any idea on this topic regarding team building. This video also gives a clear vision on team building.👍

I've been in more than one class, where the teacher asks if there are any questions. Finally, one hand slowly goes up. The student doesn't understand something, then almost the entire class chimes in that they don't understand it either. Sometimes it just takes one person to take that first step.

Great presentation! Wish he stood on the TEDx circle though.
