She started off with her discovery of psychological safety as an important factor for performance. Here’s part of why it matters: we are all afraid of looking bad, and the easiest way to avoid that is by not taking any risks. Don’t ask questions, don’t offer ideas, etc.

Psychological safety: “a belief that the context is safe for interpersonal risk-taking—speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or mistakes will be welcomed and valued.”
This is like permission to speak with candor.

Not surprised 2hear that @AmyCEdmondson “stumbled into psychological safety while studying learning organizations.”

“I found that better teams were making more mistakes. Or maybe they were just better at talking about them” @AmyCEdmondson

Excited to hear @D_R_Williams1 talking about race and inequity in healthcare.
Although immigrants are healthier than their non-immigrant counterparts, “The longer immigrants stay in the US, the worse their health becomes.”

Individual racism: When black & white men tried to cross the street in Portland, black men had to wait >30% longer as 2x as many cars passed them by compared to white men.
Institutional racism: Black ppl have to wait longer to vote (almost 2x as long as white ppl).

Racial inequities are not acts of God. They are not random. They are the result of racism—the outcomes are exactly what the system was designed to produce.
