In almost every team there's a topic everyone feels but no one names. The longer it lingers, the more it poisons the collaboration.
Silence is more expensive than discomfort
Avoiding the hard conversation feels safe, but the costs add up: irritation, cliques, and decisions no one truly backs.
What stays unspoken goes underground, and that's where it does the most damage.
You don't have to make it a big deal. Name what you see, invite a response, and keep it about behaviour rather than people.
