[OSList] A Question About Safety

[Daniel Mezick]

Here is the currently prevailing definition for [psychological safety]:

<begin>

This week, Google published a list 
<https://rework.withgoogle.com/blog/five-keys-to-a-successful-google-team/> 
of the five traits that its most successful teams share 
<https://www.businessinsider.com/google-explains-top-traits-of-its-best-teams-2015-11>. 


First among them was "psychological safety."

The term was coined by Harvard Business School professor Amy Edmondson 
<http://www.iacmr.org/Conferences/WS2011/Submission_XM/Participant/Readings/Lecture9B_Jing/Edmondson,%20ASQ%201999.pdf>, 
who gave a TEDx talk <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhoLuui9gX8> on 
the topic last year.

In the talk, she describes the experience that sparked her interest in 
psychological safety, or "a shared belief that the team is safe for 
interpersonal risk taking."

It seems unlikely that you can have too much of this psychological 
safety going on if you are looking for teams to self-manage and 
self-organize.
