#PsychologicalSafety - the key to greater innovation Over the past four years at #Novartis, I have learned that psychological safety is the absolute foundation for constructive collaboration and #innovation. Creating a space where it is OK to admit mistakes, speak up opinions and questions, and take calculated risks, encourages to take a step out of your comfort zone. Why is that? 🤸♀️ HIGHER MOTIVATION: In a speak-up culture, everyone experiences that their contribution matters and that they don't have to be afraid of offending people with their opinions and ideas. 🗳 BETTER DECISIONS: The more perspectives that flow into a discussion, the more informed the decisions that are made. 🎓 STRONGER LEARNING CULTURE: When individuals are motivated to talk openly about their mistakes and actively deal with them, the foundation is laid for learning together and continuous improvement. As I take the plunge into a new role outside the pharmaceutical world, I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for this great experience and fantastic #teamwork I have had at Novartis. A big thank you goes to all the wonderful colleagues at Novartis Deutschland and Global and especially to my team (Evelyn B., Nicolas Peetsch, Marcus Stegmiller, Kristin Brabender). It has been a great pleasure to work with you to innovate the digital customer experience. At the same time, I am grateful to my team leads who have given me over the last few years the trust and chance to take risks, to learn and to grow.
