A captivating guide for business leaders seeking to ensure their teams remain productive and engaged in the digital era. Businesses across all sectors have come to realize that if they aspire to remain competitive in the 21st century, they must embrace innovative technologies and methodologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), automation, digital platforms, and Agile. However, when there is an excessive emphasis on digital transformation, teams within the organization often get overlooked. The uniquely human benefits that stem from a well-functioning, collaborative team go unnoticed, and employees themselves become unmotivated and overly reliant on the quantifiable benefits of technology.

In People Before Tech, Duena Blomstrom unveils the true potential of teams in modern organizations by emphasizing the significance of psychological safety. This groundbreaking approach fosters a powerful group dynamic that enables teams to take risks, create, and innovate without fear of repercussions. With fascinating research, controversial approaches, and an international array of case studies, this book offers practical guidance on how business and technology leaders, as well as human resources professionals, can harness psychological safety to create and nurture satisfied, efficient, and high-performing teams within their organizations.
