August 2, 2006Do You really Want Input?
It was the raised eyebrow and the subtle increase in volume that cued the other people at the table that Chris expected the group to go along with his choice of venue without a challenge. Since Chris was the boss, the signals seemed to be working – people stopped questioning him. Until Karen commented on the dynamic. She said,
- You say you want input on this decision, but I get the impression that you don’t really. We seem to be going along with your decision, but I’m not sure that’s the consensus of the group. Am I misreading what is going on here?
Chris was unconscious of the subtle control he was imposing, but once Karen pointed it out, he recognized what he was doing. The discussion opened back up.
