A common misperception about #psychologicalsafety is that it means lowering standards, giving up on #accountability, or "everyone being wrapped in cotton wool."

I love a good 2 x 2 matrix... so here's mine, brought to life by @tnvora, #sketchnote artist supreme. Clearly, the place to be is the upper right quadrant, where people are not afraid to have the #difficultconversations that bring real progress.

Those conversations flow upward as well as downward, in an atmosphere of respect that ALSO goes both ways.

An excellent roundup that got me thinking about the difference between "either/or" thinking and "both/and thinking."

The former boxes us in; the latter is more uncomfortable but forces innovation. nyti.ms/3bgzD1U
