It argues that while identity protection is essential for psychological safety and encouraging employees to speak up, it should not excuse leadership from evaluating claims or providing actionable feedback. The research highlights how unstructured criticism can damage performance and morale if managers fail to distinguish between behavioral observations and personal judgments.
