Whose<br \/>\nsalary should we deduct for this?\u201d This punitive language created a<br \/>\nhostile environment, discouraging openness and learning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a different scenario, when a member<br \/>\nof my product development team made an error affecting a client\u2019s<br \/>\nproduction database, the leader approached it differently. Instead of<br \/>\nblaming, he reiterated his confidence in the team leader saying, \u201cI know<br \/>\n we\u2019ve made a mistake, but I\u2019m confident you can quickly fix this before<br \/>\n it causes any financial damage.\u201d This response boosted morale and led<br \/>\nto a quick resolution. Later, during the retrospective, he asked, \u201cWhat<br \/>\ncan we learn from this to prevent it from happening again?\u201d This shift<br \/>\nfrom blame to learning fostered reflection and improvement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/geraghtytom\/\">Tom Geraghty<\/a>\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/psychsafety.co.uk\/the-seven-deadly-sins-of-psychological-safety\/\">newsletter on Psychological Safety<\/a><br \/>\n with great interest.
