Some rooms get quiet in the wrong way. Not the focused kind of quiet, but the quiet that shows up when people start swallowing what they really think.
This episode looks at why that happens, what it costs, and how leaders can build a healthier way to disagree without damaging the team or the work.

We talk about the myth of harmony, the pressure to keep things smooth, and the moments when tension is actually a sign that something true is finally being said. And from there, we move into what it means to design disagreement that sharpens ideas instead of people.
