“psychological safety”, because:
1. Shouldn’t we be focused on the jerks, rather than on the people being jerked around?
2. Jerks *like* causing a lack-of-psychological-safety. The term encourages them to keep “owning” others.
Compare “team members should have psychological safety” to “a team shouldn’t have jerks in it”.
