If everyone around you agrees with everything, you’re not winning. You’re surrounded.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Total agreement usually says something about the group rather than proving you right. People stop disagreeing when it is unrewarding, unsafe, or simply pointless, and what you get afterward is a room that tells you what you want to hear. That feels like support and functions like blindness. Your errors go unmentioned right up until they get expensive.

Find the person who will say the inconvenient thing and make it worth their while. Ask specifically what is wrong with your plan rather than what they think of it. Then thank them, particularly when it stings.
