Psychological safety
Amy Edmondson described psychological safety in 1999 as a shared belief that the team is safe for interpersonal risk, such as asking a question, admitting a mistake or disagreeing.
The research
It is a team concept, not a personality trait and not the same as comfort.
Safety without standards is unclear.
What it asks in practice
Standards without room to disagree become silence.
Questions
Does safety mean low standards?
No. The research term is about interpersonal risk, not about lowering the bar.
