How leadership groups can become competitive rather than supportive

I'm in an executive coaching cohort with five other CEOs and we've developed this weird dynamic where we compete to have the most sophisticated problems and I catch myself presenting challenges in ways that make me sound appropriately complex rather than actually confused. We've turned asking for help into a performance of thoughtful leadership.
