You cannot improve when scared
"The more primitive parts of the brain take over the activity of the prefrontal cortex, the brain’s “control centre”, when we’re in a state of fear.
"This means planning, making sound decisions and using our existing knowledge becomes very difficult if we feel threatened or afraid."

In response to threats, we learn to avoid challenge and comply with external rules (instead of wondering how systems can be improved). We protect our feelings and restrict our thoughts to what’s safe.
"Learning is not the product of teaching. Learning is the product of the activity of learners."
— John Holt

- creating opportunities for people to share the "messy details" of their experience,
- inquiring into team member’s ways "to expand what goes well",
- drawing from the capacity across the work collective.

This article explores understanding what makes incidents so rare (when and how they do not happen) and so minor (over how much worse they can be) and deliberately enhancing what makes that possible.
