Commit to Understanding, Not Blame
Psychological safety in organizations progresses through four stages: from basic inclusion to meaningful contributions and ultimately to challenging norms. The value of psychological safety is highlighted in high-stakes industries, like healthcare and aviation, where understanding mistakes is crucial.

This approach emphasizes the importance of analyzing errors to improve overall safety, contrasting with perceptions that psychological safety merely promotes failure without accountability.
