Most leaders underestimate how much silent buy-in happens in private conversations before a big decision.

If you want momentum behind your initiatives, start finding out what people are really saying to each other when you’re not in the room. Overlook this, and you’ll fight invisible resistance every step of the way. Invest time to quietly earn trust with informal influencers. When the meeting comes, you’ll already have the room before you even speak.

I’d love to hear how you approach this in your own team or organization. Share your thoughts below 👇
