Ever leave a meeting thinking:
“Why didn’t anyone say something different?”
When bosses speak first (or most), they often shut down dissent—sometimes without realizing it. The result? Meetings that look efficient but produce shallow, error-prone decisions.
Here’s the surprising fix:
🎯 Don’t speak until at least two others have.
This simple shift:
✅ Encourages dissenting opinions
✅ Surfaces fresh ideas
✅ Builds stronger, more accurate decisions
Leadership isn’t about being the loudest voice. It’s about inviting the right voices into the room.
👉 Next time you’re tempted to start with your opinion, pause and ask:
“What have you considered?” or “What would happen if we did nothing?”
Better questions = better ideas = better outcomes.
