When seniority becomes a barrier to the collaboration you claim to want

I've been the 'senior person' on our nonprofit board for years but I realize I've been gatekeeping decisions based on my experience in ways that shut down newer members. We're supposed to be collaborative but I keep defaulting to 'I know how this works' and I can see people checking out of conversations.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Someone's professional identity as an experienced leader is undermining the very collaborative culture they believe they're stewarding.
