Why leadership teams struggle with false consensus

Our executive team always reaches consensus in meetings but I've noticed we each interpret what we agreed to differently and then we're surprised when implementation doesn't match expectations. We're all smart people but somehow we keep having this same miscommunication and I think we're afraid to slow down enough to really understand each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group mistakes surface agreement for genuine understanding and avoids the harder work of ensuring true alignment.
