There is already coercion in the workplace in the form of the org chart.   My 
take on psychological safety is that it is really about bounding and resolving 
conflict and not letting the outcome of arguments take on truth status or 
change the political power of the winners or losers.   This is in the interests 
of the lower- and mid-level managers as much as the individuals who put forward 
weak ideas.   A company needs people that are prepared to be disagreeable to 
put down bad ideas, or everyone will bring their pony to the pageant, and 
complain they fell unsafe when they don’t get a blue ribbon!

One can always ask. Plain text is always at least one of the interpretations.
