<p>Here is the currently prevailing definition for [psychological
safety]:<br>
<br>
<begin><br>
<br>
This week, Google <a
href="https://rework.withgoogle.com/blog/five-keys-to-a-successful-google-team/">
published a list</a> of the five traits that its <a
href="https://www.businessinsider.com/google-explains-top-traits-of-its-best-teams-2015-11">
most successful teams share</a>. </p>
<p> First among them was "psychological safety." </p>
<p> The term was <a
href="http://www.iacmr.org/Conferences/WS2011/Submission_XM/Participant/Readings/Lecture9B_Jing/Edmondson,%20ASQ%201999.pdf">
coined by Harvard Business School professor Amy Edmondson</a>,
who gave a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhoLuui9gX8">TEDx
talk</a> on the topic last year. </p>
<p> 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." <br>

<br>
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.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Greetings all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have questions about safety related to
self-organization I would love others thoughts on. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is it possible for an environment can be too safe to
support self-organization? Can safety be at such a high
level that it inhibits or slows down the
self-organizing process?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm very interested to hear others perspectives.</div>
