True. I 100% agree. The one caveat being: we need an environment of psychological safety to ask questions.

I am not sure exactly what you mean by an environment of psychological safety as that could be quite broad.

Is that fancy talk for you have to believe you can ask a question without someone calling you an idiot or belittling you? ๐Ÿ˜‹ Or do you have a definition that narrows it down a bit.
