Dialogue can signal a leadership vacuum.
It’s rarely about great teamwork.
Endless talk without decisions frustrates everyone. Five people talking for an hour isn’t one hour lost—it’s five. And if you have a “culture of dialogue,” expect to revisit the topic a hundred times. Do the math.
Open dialogue doesn’t guarantee the best solution. It just ensures the loudest person’s idea gets the most attention.
All that wasted time drains energy from real work.
Dialogue has its place—but only when done right.
Without clear constraints and boundaries, everyone loses.
Including you.
