Periagoge
Scenario

When your team keeps committing to unrealistic deadlines

Our team has this pattern where we commit to ambitious deadlines in client meetings and then immediately start negotiating with each other about what's actually possible, and I realize I'm part of the problem because I stay quiet in those meetings even when I know the timeline is unrealistic. We're all complicit in this cycle but no one wants to be the person who disappoints the client.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is collectively choosing client approval over honest assessment of their capabilities.
