When teams enable consultants who aren't helping

Our executive team has this consultant who everyone complains about privately but praises in meetings, and I realize I'm doing the exact same thing even though I think their advice is actively making our culture worse. We're paying them a lot of money to tell us things that don't feel true about our organization and I can't tell if I'm the only one who sees this or if we're all just being polite.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Everyone privately dislikes the consultant but praises them in meetings, and you're going along with it too.
