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.
