4. Diederik Gommers (Erasmus)

This time we have a special guest, and I think since Covid everyone in the Netherlands knows him; Diederik Gommers, Head of IC at Erasmus. He played a crucial role in the Outbreak Management Team during the pandemic. But he was also still a doctor at the hospital. What did he learn in these unprecedented times and did it change how he looks at and fosters Psychological Safety? This time our conversation will be in Dutch, so for our international listeners I kindly refer you to our other episodes that you can listen in English.

What is Psychological Safety; What can we learn from people with a different perspective…?

Often we get the question from our clients; “We need to do something with Psychological Safety in our organization, but how do we approach this sensitive topic?” One of the key elements of psychological safety is having an open dialogue and feeling free to speak up. That is why we do not shy away from this topic but start to have conversations about it. Join us when we talk with a variety of people in senior leadership positions with a different perspective. We will hear the impact of time pressure and stressful situations on behavior and trust and learn how psychological safety is perceived and embedded in their organizations. The wisdom that these people share most certainly provides inspiration and sense of awareness, but mostly opens-up the dialogue about psychological safety.
