When in doubt, call it out.

Check every line that sounds like your team.

• The real conversation happens in the hallway after the meeting.
• Everyone agrees to fix it, and the same problem is back in three months.
• Someone raises a concern, and the room moves on as if nothing was said.
• Everyone agrees with you in private and says nothing in the meeting.
• Everyone complains about a person. Nobody talks about what the team allows.
