Episode Details

This episode explores the hidden risk not of expertise itself, but of untested expertise—and how easily teams can slip into silent alignment when confidence goes unquestioned.

• How deference to authority can silence critical thinking
• The role of leaders in slowing down decisions to test assumptions
• How simple questions can surface risk before it escalates

And in that moment—when someone chooses to ask the question that sparks curiosity—
that is the edge.
