Episode Synopsis:
Charity People’s Board and Leadership Director, Tiku Van Houtem chats with Dr Shirah Mansaray to explore Psychological Safety in Boardrooms.
Drawing on academic research along with real-world examples, Shirah shows how psychological safety fuels innovation, sharpens strategic thinking, and reduces governance risk. She outlines practical steps leaders can take immediately and highlights the emotional intelligence required to model vulnerability, invite challenge, and create space for honest dialogue at the highest levels.
This episode is more than a conversation—it is a call to action. Dr Shirah makes a powerful case that psychological safety is not “soft”; it is strategy. It is risk mitigation. And it is, ultimately, what allows leaders to unlock the full intelligence of their teams and steward their organisations with integrity and foresight.
