We all want to recruit competent employees. However sometimes employing lots of smart people results in a culture where people are reluctant to open up, show weakness or ask for help. Everyone feels under pressure to perform. They expect themselves to be superhuman because they think everyone else in the company is superhuman. The culture may even become distrusting and cannibalistic.
If we can't cultivate psychological safety in our teams, we can't get them to work together effectively. We end up with a bunch of snobs trying to outperform one another, instead of a team that brings out the best in one another.
