Cecil worked with a team that was stacked with smart, capable people.

But meetings felt… flat.

Everyone nodded. No one disagreed.

Cecil had created a culture of silence, where alignment was valued more than insight.

One day, after a particularly beige strategy session, Cecil asked a simple question:
“What am I missing?”
That opened the floodgates.

Ideas poured in. Perspectives clashed—constructively.
It was messy, a bit uncomfortable… and brilliant.
Within weeks, they had reworked a stagnant project into one that outperformed expectations.

That moment taught Cecil and his team:
Diversity of Thought isn’t about ticking boxes.
It’s about creating space for people to speak, challenge, and stretch ideas.

It’s not always easy. But it’s always worth it.
