This week’s articles on the Chasing Psychological Safety newsletter are all about the mental health and wellbeing of our superheroes.

I talk a lot about Superheroes. And I do think there are quite a few of those. Thankfully. Every time I write about what they go through, I get some pushback “Stop it with the personality cult, no one needs the black turtleneck and assholish behaviour” and I can see where that comes from but it’s not at all what I am talking about or who I see. The Superheroes I sing the praises of are almost the antithesis of that and largely unsung. I’ve been writing about them for ages and they still astound me every day. They could so easily spend their corporate lives doing what everyone else does - coasting, not caring- but they don’t, they invest heart and they fight for what they think is right for their teams and the company. It’s a collection of constant miniature heroic acts.

When this compounds with having to keep the heart of Agile in the face of opposition, the enormity of the awesomeness is even clearer.
