Scenario

When high-performing team members create hostile group dynamics

My team has one person who dominates every meeting and talks over others, especially the women on our team, but they're also our strongest performer and they don't seem aware they're doing it. Our manager hasn't addressed it directly and the rest of us have started having side conversations about how frustrated we are, but nothing changes.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group tolerates harmful behavior because of someone's value in other areas, creating a culture of avoidance around difficult conversations.
