Description

Ever walked out of a meeting feeling relieved that everyone nodded along — only to watch your “agreed-upon” plan fizzle later on? You’re not alone. In healthcare leadership, the pressure to move fast makes us crave consensus. But quick buy-in often plants the seeds of resistance, rework, and frustration. In this episode, I break down The Agreement Trap — why smart leaders fall into it, how rushing to “yes” silences crucial intelligence from your team, and what to do instead. You’ll learn practical ways to surface dissent early, check for real readiness, and move forward without creating quiet sabotage or costly backtracking. If you’ve ever wondered why your well-planned changes stall despite early smiles and nods, this one’s for you.
