Summary
Everyone agreed.At least, that is what the meeting appeared to say. But there is a difference between people believing a decision is right and people simply deciding that the conversation is over. ------ This episode explores what happens in the space between those two states. - Why does apparent agreement disappear during implementation? - Why can an entire room remain aligned while the organisation behaves as though nothing was settled? - And what can we learn by asking a deceptively simple question: “What will you do differently tomorrow because of this decision?” Consensus is visible in the room. Agreement becomes visible in the work. Consensus ends a conversation. Agreement changes behaviour. ------ Stay Tuned… Regards, Top Voice Maido & Kon'nichiwa min'na! 👶🏻🧑🏻🦱👩🏻🦳 Wie Geht's guys?
