What is the definition of psychological safety?

Psychological safety is a management concept that Professor Amy Edmondson of Harvard Business School has made central to modern leadership. She defines it as the belief that one can talk openly about mistakes, doubts, questions, disagreements, and ideas without the risk of humiliation or punishment. This safety is crucial because it affects how much access we have to each other's perspectives, knowledge, and intelligence.
