Why this topic matters
When a leadership team reaches a decision without much friction, it can feel like alignment since nobody pushed back. But at execution, alignment disappears, there's a lack of progress, the strategy fails. Meeting dynamics that stifle dissent can hide a myriad of sins, and a lack of friction can mean critical issues are missed. The right mechanism changes the dynamic for the better.
