The Foundation of High-Performing Teams: Willingness to Help at Work - with Marie Nakhle & Hadeel Kabosh

In this episode of our Psychological Safety in Focus webinar series, we explore Willingness to Help, one of the four domains of psychological safety, and an indicator of trust, collaboration, and team solidarity.

At Cosmic Centaurs, psychological safety has long shaped how we design organizational assessments, leadership programs, and team experiences. We see it as a critical enabler of high-performing teams where people feel safe to ask questions, seek support, raise concerns, and learn together.

In this session, we explore:

🔹What willingness to help really means in the context of psychological safety

🔹Why people often hesitate to ask for help at work

🔹How overload, competition, and hierarchy impact helping behaviors in teams

🔹What leaders can do to build cultures of support without creating dependency or burnout.
