In leadership conversations, especially around innovation and review cycles, there’s a moment where the work is already complete, the perspectives are already in, and the decision space is already shaped.
The question is: are we contributing clarity, or extending conversation for the sake of speaking?
This isn’t about silencing voices. It’s about recognising when value has already been delivered, and when stepping back is the stronger leadership move.
Worth reflecting on: when was the last time you held back your “two cents” and it actually improved the outcome?
