Workplace Culture

• Diverse teams can achieve greatness, but they need to exist in an inclusive environment that promotes psychological safety

• Psychological safety rests on the assurance that a team member will not be ridiculed or punished for making a mistake or speaking up with an idea

• The Dale Carnegie principles promote the cultural competencies necessary to cultivate psychological safety within diverse teams

• Building diversity in the workplace can benefit businesses and society, yet true diversity can only be achieved through the creation of an authentically inclusive environment

• Inclusivity requires that we grow our self-confidence, take a genuine interest in others, become aware of our differences, and learn the cultural competencies necessary to sustain outward change

• The Dale Carnegie principles hold timeless wisdom and universal appeal because they teach us the mindset and skills that lead to increased friendliness, cooperation, and respect within a diverse workforce
