When Defensiveness Enters the Room: The Electric Fish Method
Description
I could feel them shut down.
What happens when you feel yourself shift and can’t quite stop it?
Weakly electric fish navigate murky water by emitting a constant field, and everything in range responds to it. Rose didn't make her team shut down. She emitted a signal.
How does a system stay intelligent when defensiveness enters the room, without escalating it? Nature has been solving for this for 3.8 billion years.
In Feral's first ever collaboration, our host Pia sits down with Rose — a leadership coach, longtime friend and closet puffer fish — to let the weakly electric fish show us the way.
Name it. Contain it. Date it.
A practical way to recognise defensiveness, contain the signal and stop spreading it through the room.
Nature owns the patent. We get to copy it.
