The Art of Calling Out Room Dynamics

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=107526&nl=daily how
naming what's happening in the room can defuse tense meetings, improve
team dynamics, and elevate your leadership skills. Learn practical
tips from an experienced tech leader on using this powerful
communication technique to transform difficult conversations and drive
better outcomes.

Continued here [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=107526&nl=daily]

Editor's Note: Listen, I get it. In the moment, speaking up to name a
difficult dynamic feels scary. There's always the fear that you'll
make things worse or look foolish. But here's the thing: 9 times out
of 10, everyone else in that room is feeling the same discomfort you
are. By finding the courage to name it, you're not being a
troublemaker - you're being a leader. It takes practice to get
comfortable with this skill. Start small. Try it in lower-stakes
situations first. Pay attention to how others react and refine your
approach. Over time, you'll develop an almost sixth sense for when an
intervention is needed. You'll become that person who can deftly guide
conversations back on track when they're derailing. The person who can
cut through bullshit and get to the heart of issues.
