This is one reason checklists are so effective in surgeries.
Prior to checklists, nurses would feel hesitant to point out errors by surgeons.
Post checklists, people felt more empowered to say "Doctor, I believe you missed step 5".
(Didn't completely remove the hesitancy but this point was identified explicitly in Atul Gawande's book The Checklist Manifesto)
