Kiszla vs. Durando: Who gets blame for Avalanche’s flameout from Stanley Cup Playoffs?

Kiz: Load up the van, let’s take the Avs to Dairy Queen for a Blizzard and tell them: Good job, boys. Go get ’em next year. Sorry, my friend. A champion deserves more respect than a condescending pat on the head. As defenseman Erik Johnson said after the Game 7 loss on home ice to Seattle, there are no participation ribbons in the NHL playoffs. So where does the blame begin for getting bounced from the first round? Go ahead and list the bad injury luck, but it’s hard for me to blame the cruel hockey gods for the disappearance of Valeri Nichushkin.Durando: Are we allowed to blame the salary cap for starters? There’s a reason only two teams have repeated as champions in the NHL’s cap era. The NHL is unsympathetic toward teams with sights set on a dynasty. Think about Tampa, which did pull off the elusive back-to-back. So close to a three-peat only to get slapped around by the Avalanche in a Cup Final then bounced in the first round this year.

Creating a positive work culture is crucial for the success of any business, especially in today’s world, where remote working is becoming increasingly common due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To achieve this, one of the most important aspects is cultivating psychological safety in teams. Psychological safety is when a person feels safe to speak up about an idea or concern, ask questions or admit a mistake without feeling like they will be punished, humiliated or embarrassed.

That will give you a tangible example of an environment where you did not feel a sense of psychological safety.Many experts in the field of leadership and team dynamics, like Steve Sharp, a leadership consultant based in Brisbane, Queensland, emphasize the significance of psychological safety in teams and how to cultivate it. According to Sharp, psychological safety is the foundation of trust and a pr...Award-Winning Director Eva Vik Takes Grandmother’s Surname for Artistic Freedom
