When executive teams develop unconscious deference patterns

Our executive team always defers to our CEO's opinion even when we have relevant expertise and different perspectives, and I've started preparing for meetings by trying to guess what they want to hear. I don't think anyone else realizes we're doing this but I can see how it's affecting the quality of our decisions.

What we've seen
