Scenario

When creative groups unconsciously discourage risk-taking

My writing group gives feedback that sounds supportive but everyone keeps producing the same safe, mediocre work. I think we've learned to mirror each other's risk-averse approach and now we're all stuck in this pattern of encouraging each other to play it safe.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A creative collective has developed implicit norms that reward safety over growth, with members unconsciously modeling and reinforcing mediocrity.
