I haven't thought a lot about that, but it's a great question.

Maybe:

1. Try to affect a culture of and signal "we're working together / collaborating, not competing with each other."

2. Make it clear that you're not looking for reasons to fire/punish.

3. Expect and tolerate mistakes, simple/"dumb" questions, saying "I don't know", and build support structures for learning collaboratively.
