What happens in this story4 scenarios
Everyone knows. Nobody says it. The thing that's poisoning the team sits in the center of every meeting like a grenade with a pulled pin — and someone needs to name it first.
You've decided to say the thing nobody will say. The words are forming and your heart is pounding — because breaking this silence could change everything, or cost you everything.
You named it. And now the room is erupting — relief, anger, tears, accusations. The dam broke and everything behind it is flooding out at once. You need to hold the space without controlling it.
The truth is on the table. The emotions have been heard. Now the hard part — turning all that honesty into commitments that actually change how this team operates.
