2.       Answer the following three questions: Copy and paste the questions in your document and place your answers beneath.

1) Do you agree with the main points of the article?  (You don’t have to).   If you agree, what are one or two points that resonated most?  If you don’t agree, what specifically don’t you agree with, and what do you observe to be different?

2) After describing Psychological Safety, the author discusses six ways a manager can increase psychological safety on their team.  As you think about your own management style, how would you rate yourself on each of the six?   List each of the six ways and provide a rating.  Is there one area you’d like most to improve?

3) If you had to identify a seventh (new) way to increase psychological safety or otherwise increase team effectiveness, what would it be?
