Field Note 80 | The Strategy Amnesia: Inside the Feedback Vacuum
Description
The roadmap was followed. The destination was wrong.
------
Why do capable engineering and strategy teams sit around a conference table, spot a structural flaw in the first five minutes, and spend the rest of the review complimenting the dossier formatting before stamping it "APPROVED — NO COMMENTS"?
This episode unpacks The Feedback Vacuum and Defensive Civility.
We trace the behavioural mechanics of the 4:45 PM sign-off ritual: why candour carries an immediate personal tax while polite silence socialises failure months down the line, how Courtesy Debt compounds beneath green milestone trackers, and why truth migrates from formal review minutes into corridor whispers.
You will leave with one portable question and a forced-choice verification habit to bring into your next live sign-off meeting.
The feedback was kind. The failure was absolute.

Stay Tuned…
