&quot;Its about feeling safe, respected, and sharing the load.&quot;<p>You know, I think it&#x27;s worth pointing something out about the word &quot;safe&quot; given the sense it has been used in lately. In this case, it means people feel <i>safe to express dissent</i>. Not &quot;safe from dissent&quot;, as the term is often used nowadays.<p>Of course the two usages shouldn&#x27;t be overlapping much anyhow. It shouldn&#x27;t surprise anyone that a team where people actually attack each other&#x27;s personal identities is not going to be very effective! But it&#x27;s still worth pointing out the two very different ways the term can be used, and important not to accidentally substitute one definition for the other.
