Developed by Oxford Social Scientist Dr. Timothy R. Clark, The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety™ turns ineffective teams into inclusive and innovative psychological safety practitioners.
Without a humanity-first foundation of inclusion, your teams will struggle to learn, collaborate, and innovate. But you can’t speak inclusion into existence. Stage 1: Inclusion Safety offers behavioral skills to make inclusion an active choice in team interactions.
Does your team encourage curiosity or choke it? Do they punish mistakes? Stage 2: Learner Safety equips teams with strategies to increase their learning agility and support each other through mistakes and failure. The goal? Decrease silence and root out fear.
How do you foster the passion and responsibility that engaged employees crave and high-performing organizations need? Stage 3: Contributor Safety teaches teams to operate under the appropriate levels of autonomy and accountability.
You can’t speak a speak-up culture into existence. Stage 4: Challenger Safety empowers team members with the skills they need to innovate without friction, amplify all voices, and challenge the status quo.
Training goes beyond any initial engagement. When you license The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety™, our team becomes an extension of yours. We’ve developed the roadmaps, facilitator guides, data analytics, and programming insights you’ll need to show senior leaders the measurable impact you have on your organization. It’s all available to you in the LeaderFactor TrainingHub™.
Written by organizational psychologist Dr. Timothy R. Clark, this book is the first practical, hands-on guide that shows leaders how to build a culture of psychological safety in their organizations and create an environment where employees can be vulnerable. With reflection questions and key concept reviews, you’ll learn how to help your teams feel included, fully engaged, and encouraged to contribute their best efforts and ideas.
A task is a basic, fundamental unit of work. Tasks are singular and simple in nature and have measurable, standard completion. Someone who operates under task-level accountability needs to be checked on often, closely monitored, and heavily mentored. While learning the tasks of our role is crucial (because the tasks themselves won’t go away), we shouldn’t set up shop at this level.
We create process-level accountability when tasks can be strung together in a predictable structure or cycle with consistent success or results. How do you know when someone is ready to graduate from task-level accountability to process-level? You’ll know they’re ready once they have a demonstrated track record of performance and a willingness to learn more.
Outcome-level accountability is the destination. This is the ultimate transfer of accountability of ownership. Individuals who operate here feel a strong sense of responsibility for the projects and deliverables that are assigned to them. This kind of autonomy and trust gives team members permission to push boundaries, innovate, and take ownership not just for the tasks at hand, but for their long-term outcomes and effects.
Training goes beyond any initial engagement. When you license The 3 Levels of Accountability™, our team becomes an extension of yours. We’ve developed the roadmaps, facilitator guides, data analytics, and programming insights you’ll need to show senior leaders the measurable impact you have on your organization. It’s all available to you in the LeaderFactor TrainingHub™.

Key Learning Objectives
Your emotional intelligence (EQ) determines your ability to interact effectively with other humans. It’s your delivery system through which you share your knowledge, experience, and skills with others.
Emotional intelligence isn’t something you’re either born with, or you aren’t. It can be learned, developed, and improved over time. Throughout this workshop, you'll lean into practical frameworks and suggestions that you can take and immediately improve your EQ.
The six domains of the EQindex™ framework address different aspects of emotional intelligence, what you believe (the regard domains), what you know (the awareness domains), and what you do (the management domains). Dive into your results and focus on key skill areas to improve.
Improving your emotional intelligence isn’t something you can do in your sleep. You don’t accidentally stumble upon these skills and you won’t develop them without trying. Learn how deliberate practice aided by a digital action plan will help you create new habits and norms related to your EQ.
When an organization breaks its brand promise, 90% of the time, it’s connected to the low emotional intelligence of the employee. We cannot deliver our brand promise consistently without high EQ.

The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety program was a great learning experience, the approach chosen by Timothy Clark was simple, straight forward and very effective. A good mix of content, theory and examples/cases. I would also highlight the dynamic and open atmosphere of the session, leaving space for interactions, questions and testimonies, making the session a real living one! Understanding each stage in depth, exploring the different behaviors and leader´s role in creating a psychologically safe environment was very powerful.

I am very grateful to have ‘found’ Timothy Clark’s book, The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety – Defining the Path from Inclusion to Innovation. Timothy’s work resonated on a deeply personal level for me– defining and giving me language for behaviors I have experienced and witnessed over the years. It also provided clarity for me on why, despite policies, training, and extensive investment in leadership development programs intended to increase equity and inclusion and improve workplace culture, organizations I have worked in and with haven’t been able to achieve the desired outcomes in a sustainable or consistent way. Timothy’s book held such deep resonance for me. I have no hesitation in recommending and endorsing Timothy’s work on The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety.
– Suzie Paceskoska, Executive Leadership and Organisational Coach
As a person responsible in part for implementing leadership development within my organization, I am thoughtful with both my time and the time of teams to which I bring outside counsel and knowledge. It's not really about training, it's about creating a culture rich in aligned values yet differing in perspectives and opinions. The psychological safety workshop offered by LeaderFactor was not only insightful and well worth the time, more importantly it was actionable and had an immediate positive impact. We now use a common framework rooted in trust of one another and we challenge when someone is not living into our aligned values. Simple recommendations made through the workshop are a part of our culture, including getting to know everyone's names and how to pronounce them correctly. Low hanging fruit that had not been on our radar prior. We know it's working too - as new employees onboard, they recount actions of our current employees that left an impression and many of those are from the teachings in this workshop. I think the knowledge we gained has been invaluable.
– Bret Giles, Audacious Studios
I whole heartedly recommend Leader Factor’s 4 Stages of Psychological Safety. It is a perfect tool for our particular time because it enables a team, or a department to identify and address the obstacles to helping employees feel included at work. It is straightforward and easy to understand. Leaders, managers and employees can grasp the insights right away. You can actually do something about helping feel included, not just know more about it. I recommend the workshop. It’s one of the most pragmatic and value added opportunities you’ll find to invest in creating a workplace where innovation can become more of the norm and not just an occasional breakthrough.
– Brent Chesney, Sr. Organizational Development Consultant

Hi I’m Paul Phelan, Head of Leadership Development at Jardine Motors Group – UK. About a year ago I was looking into which skills are key in Leadership, with an aim to bring something new, yet still relevant into the group. Through my research I realized that ‘Psychological Safety’ was making headlines, with both Google and Gallup recognizing this as a key skill in the current times. This got me curious, and it wasn’t long before I came across LeaderFactor, and the 4 Stages of Psychological Safety. I soon bought the book, and this grabbed my attention into wanting to know more about the work of Timothy R Clark and the team. I then attended some of the free virtual sessions, and was hooked even more, I could tell this was something I needed to bring into JMG.The great thing is through my 121 Coaching sessions where I have already started to use the 4 stages, its already growing momentum across the group, which is exciting for us.
