When feedback in professional development groups stays superficial

I'm part of a leadership development cohort where we're supposed to give each other honest feedback but everyone just says nice things and avoids the real issues they see in each other. I want to actually help these people grow but I'm afraid of being the only one who gets real if everyone else stays surface-level.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Everyone in the group plays nice, and you are scared to be the only one who says the hard truth.
