Psychological safety isn’t enough.
It ensures people aren't over-punished for small mistakes, but it stops there. It does not teach individuals how to manage their own fear of speaking up.
Stop "helping" people speak.
Using round-robins or calling on quiet members creates dependency. It gets opinions today, but delays their ability to manage their own fear and speak up on their own.
Decentralize fear management.
We shift the burden of managing fear from the manager to the individual. This frees up the leader's energy to move away from constant facilitation and focus on bigger issues and vision.

The Common Definition of "Assertive" is Wrong! The typical definition of assertiveness is often said to be about respecting oneself while also respecting others. However, this is incorrect. Why is the common definition of assertiveness wrong? The explanation is simple. If someone believes that you voicing your opinion is rude, who can truly judge whether you were respectful or not? Assertiveness isn't about respect; it's about honestly expressing your thoughts, even if it makes others uncomfortable.
