❌ MYTH: Psychological safety is in opposition to accountability.

✅ REALITY: Accountability is ‘psychological ownership’ which is dignifying and allows people to ‘own’ their part in the team’s success. It is not ‘punishment’ for doing wrong or taking risks. When you understand accountability with this frame, it’s easier to see how it dovetails with psychological safety. An employee both has ownership over their performance and safety to take risks to get there.
