There's a moment most managers recognise, even if they've never named it.
You're in a team meeting. You've just shared a plan, or asked for input, or posed a genuinely open question. And the room goes quiet. Not the productive kind of quiet - the careful kind. The kind where people are weighing up whether it's safe to say what they're actually thinking.
You might fill the silence yourself. Or someone offers a vague "sounds good." And the meeting moves on.
But something important didn't happen. And somewhere, you felt it.
That silence has a name. It's the absence of psychological safety - and it's one of the most significant, and most overlooked, barriers to high-performing teams.
