Psychological Safety in Teams
“An error can be corrected only when naming it does not threaten belonging or a career.”
01 / SUMMARY
In short
Psychological safety is a shared belief that interpersonal risks—asking, disagreeing, or admitting errors—are acceptable in the team. It relates to learning, with effects shaped by leadership, task, and context.
03 / SCENE
In the wild
A nurse flags a questionable dose because the team answers questions with review rather than humiliation.
04 / LIMIT
The limit
It is not constant comfort, low standards, permission to harm, or immunity from professional consequences.
FINAL NOTE
What remains
Watch what happens after a difficult question; the reaction says more than an open-door slogan.
