Greg Stevenson warns that when your team stops disagreeing with you, you've lost access to the truth. As leaders rise, people hide dissent because honesty becomes risky. This filtered information makes you vulnerable to bad decisions.
When the room stops pushing back, that is not a good sign. When everyone starts agreeing with you, that is not the moment you have arrived. It is a moment you have to worry. As you rise, honesty gets more expensive for the people around you. Disagreeing with you now carries a cost it never used to. So the pushback softens, the hard questions go unasked, and you start making the biggest calls of your career On the most filtered information you have ever had. A quiet, agreeable room is not proof you are right. It is proof the truth has stopped reaching you. If you're a leader, subscribe to this channel. This is the interior game the seat never warned you about.
