Neil Pretty: Psychological Safety at Work

Published: Dec. 15, 2020, 10 a.m.

Neil Pretty wears a few different hats. He’s the Managing Partner, North America for System2 & the Co-Founder / CEO of Aristotle Performance - two organizational psychology & strategy consultancies that make organizations healthier places to be in. 

He’s passionate about creating high-performance environments. With a wealth of experience that spans industry, Neil has coached hundreds of leaders & teams. 

We connected earlier this year (Episode 41: Fearless Conversations) where we scratched the surface of psychological safety in organizations; focusing mostly on the topics from an individual leader’s perspective. And so I was eager to have Neil back to broaden our lens; this time speaking to the team & organizational drivers of psychological safety, to illuminate their critical importance in driving performance in today’s business climate.

Never before has it been so important for organizations to consider psychological safety. Against the backdrop of a global pandemic, economic crisis & widespread social unrest - an organization’s ability to create safety is essential to achieving the very best from the knowledge workers. And Neil brings a refreshing perspective anchored in science & years of practical experience. 

It was such a pleasure connecting with Neil. I always enjoy our chats.
