One of the greatest risks I see in many companies is not a lack of talent.
It is the lack of Dissent with meaning.
Everything is so focused on KPis, methodologies, manuals, "best practices..." that when someone gets out of the script, they make it difficult, problematic, disaligned.
But I've lived it:
- Sometimes, the best idea doesn't sound pretty at first..
- Sometimes the one who confronts you is not attacking you: It's opening your eyes..
- And sometimes, the only way to innovate is making those who were already comfortable uncomfortable.
If your team never questions you, if everyone noddes without friction, if each board sounds like deja vu... You don't have a team in line. You have a numb system.
Today, more than ever, leadership is not to silence noise.
It's create spaces where dissent builds.
Where criticism does not destroy... but leads.
Where there's freedom to say, "I don't agree... and this is my proposal."
Because the real risk is not that someone thinks different.
It's just that No one dares to do it..
