How leadership teams exclude members through informal decision-making

Our leadership team makes decisions in side conversations between two or three people and then presents them as unanimous choices in the full team meeting, and I've been part of these smaller discussions but I'm starting to realize how this excludes others and undermines trust. We're all complicit in this but I don't know how to change it without calling out the behavior I've also participated in.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group has created an inner circle that makes decisions while performing inclusion for the outer circle, trapping even willing participants in a system of structured dishonesty.
