Have you ever led a team and realized—maybe a little too late—that something was off? On the surface, everything looks fine. But people have stopped sharing or pushing back, and the energy… shifts.

This happened with a client whose meetings were heavy with silence. And not the kind you get when people are focused, the kind where they’re holding back.

One day, a colleague asked him, “Have you noticed how quiet your team has become?” He had noticed, a bit, but wasn’t sure how to handle it. So, he’d buried himself deeper in deadlines and to-do lists.

This is where reputation can unravel in operations: When the dashboard says “all good,” but the room tells a different story.

In this episode, you’ll hear why silence can break teams and how to be known as a leader who is tuned in.
