One person's psychological safety is another person's inability to give honest feedback to a teammate who's a drain on everyone.
It's a fragile balance that should be maintained carefully by talented leadership.
- bumby 3y agoI don't know if I agree with the first statement, but I agree that leadership plays a big role. I think psychological safety is the opposite of what you described. According to Adam Grant, it's the ability to give candid feedback without interpersonal risk. Related to my original comment, it's the ability to share ideas, even half-baked ones, without fear that they will define you as a person. The downside to "brutal" feedback is when people conflate the idea with the person sharing it.
