Description

All people have a profound need and capacity to connect with each other, including those working in organizations. Social connections are critical for our species to address and cope with survival-related threats (real or imagined). An important way that we cultivate social connections is through our ability to perceive the thoughts, emotions, and feelings we experience in others. Individuals who have social and emotional intelligence successfully navigate the politics inherent in organizations, better manage conflict with others at work, and sustain relationships with colleagues.

This session describes new research on how to measure and change a key aspect of an effective company and team culture: Interpersonal trust and psychological safety. The presenter will summarize the latest neuroscience research around interpersonal trust and its relationship to the hormone oxytocin that provides insight into the biological survival roots of unconscious bias and in-group bias. Finally, practical suggestions for enhancing team and organizational psychological safety, interpersonal trust, and a culture of empathy will be presented.
