The boardroom full of yes-men feels productive. It’s not.
Real progress happens when someone raises their hand and says “wait.” When they poke holes in your perfect plan. When they make you defend what you thought was obvious.
Alignment without tension is stagnation in disguise.
The most dangerous meetings are the quiet ones. The ones where everyone agrees too quickly. Where dissent gets buried under politeness.
Your job isn’t to be liked by everyone. It’s to be right about the things that matter.
Comfort is the enemy of breakthrough.
