At my last co-op (as an analyst at an investment firm), I had to attend management meetings every week. I got to know the managers pretty well over time, and everyone was very friendly to me, and encouraged me to speak up, but I still found it hard to give my opinion at times, especially if my opinion was different from that of some of the senior managers in the room.
Which of the below factors is MOST likely to be causing me to still feel somewhat low psychological safety in these management team meetings?
A. Lack of leader support
B. Lack of familiarity/interaction with other members
C. Overestimation of my contribution to the group
D. High status differences
