This is GOLD! Well stated and these are vital distinctions that must be made and understood to cultivate strong cultures and keep mild climates in the workplace.
I also believe that, many folks are not taught some folks take awhile to trust (that's their right). Once they do, they may joke with you. Perhaps, even some light hearted hazing. To immediately freak out/overreact, merely means that one has their own unresolved issues.
If you can't learn to laugh and joke. Good luck making it on any team.
Well said. The mistake many leaders make is confusing psychological safety with emotional comfort.
Safety is not about avoiding tension. It is about designing an environment where truth can surface without punishment.
• Disagreement is welcomed
• Mistakes are explored
• Hard truths are met with curiosity, not contempt
When leaders reward how people show up, honestly, respectfully, and with a learning mindset, the system reinforces openness. And that is where real performance starts.

Thank you for your time.
So true! This is what opened me up to my team! Keeping the connections educated and still -slightly- professional makes it psychologically safe. ☺️

You cant have psychological safety without authenticity
