The Joan Hibdon Commentaries

On a recent Price of Business show, Host Kevin Price interviewed Joan Hibdon.

One of the most powerful—and misunderstood—drivers of performance: psychological safety. It’s the invisible foundation that determines whether people speak up, share ideas, and give honest feedback. When safety is low, silence takes over. Employees hold back questions, avoid tough conversations, and innovation stalls.

We discussed how creating a feedback-rich culture begins with trust. Leaders set the tone by modeling openness—asking for feedback themselves, listening without defensiveness, and responding with curiosity instead of judgment. When people see that honesty won’t be punished, they start to engage with more courage and authenticity.

The connection between psychological safety and performance is undeniable. Teams that feel safe don’t just communicate better—they perform better. They take smart risks, solve problems faster, and recover more quickly from setbacks.

True leadership is not about having all the answers; it’s about creating an environment where others feel safe to share theirs. When feedback becomes a shared act of learning rather than fear, both people and performance thrive.
