My work team used to brainstorm by throwing out wild ideas and building on each other's crazy suggestions, but after a few projects got shot down by leadership, we've all become incredibly cautious and our meetings are just polite agreement about safe options.

More people experience this than they realize.
The group has learned that boldness is punished, so everyone has retreated to the safety of mediocrity, but the cost is the death of what made you effective together.
