Abstract

Cultures that cultivate psychological safety support professional development and personal well-being. Two cases are contrasted to highlight the value of servant leadership in creating psychologically safe cultures through caring and trust. Servant leaders demonstrate humility and vulnerability and invest in those they lead. Caring leaders create a positive workplace.
