Two-Minute Tip | Are you sure they agree?
Have you ever confidently expressed your opinion, believing everyone was in agreement, only to later discover you stood alone? This phenomenon is known as false consensus effect, a cognitive bias causing us to mistakenly assume others share our perspective. False consensus effect permeates workplaces, leading leaders to assume unanimous consent from their teams.
I recently worked with a leader who learned this lesson the hard way, confidently leading his team in one direction, only to discover they weren't on board. The key? Before forging ahead, take a step back. Engage your team in meaningful conversations, asking open-ended questions that invite genuine feedback.
Let's explore how to navigate this common pitfall and ensure alignment before charting the course forward in this video.
