What actually makes a high-performing team?

In this episode of Muhami Matters, Chris Adams speaks with Kate Manton, founder of Baobab Works, about why psychological safety is the true foundation of leadership, accountability and sustainable performance.

Psychological safety is widely misunderstood. It is not about being agreeable or lowering standards. It is about creating an environment where challenge is welcomed, ownership is clear, and teams feel confident speaking up without fear.

In this conversation, we explore:

• What psychological safety really means in practice

• Why avoiding conflict quietly lowers standards

• The concept of positive tension and shared conflict

• How leaders can create “air cover” for their teams

• Leadership during mergers and restructuring

• The hidden cost of cutting investment in people

• Why busy teams are not always productive teams

This episode is essential listening for leaders in professional services, law firms and consultancies navigating growth and cultural change.
