Interesting post. So true… I find the same thing happens when I decide to sit in on the staff meetings of my direct reports. There is always polite conversation and people perk up to try to make good points in front of the boss. But what is missing is the intense, passionate discussion that helps get to better ideas and better solutions. I’m working very hard to keep the five other senior team members so comfortable around me (and each other) that we don’t hesitate to speak our minds and push each other hard and let the best idea win.
