Scenario

When teams master diplomatic communication at the expense of honest problem-solving

My startup team does weekly retrospectives where we're supposed to discuss what's working and what isn't but we've all gotten so good at diplomatic language that nothing real ever gets said. We're solving around problems instead of solving them and everyone knows it but we can't seem to break out of this polite dysfunction.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Professional politeness has become a barrier to the very collaboration it was meant to protect.
