The meeting where everyone agrees is the most dangerous meeting in your organization.
Not because people are lying.
Because they've learned — through experience, through consequence, through watching what happened to the last person who said the uncomfortable thing out loud — that agreement is safer than truth.
The uncomfortable thing is still in the room.
It's just not on the agenda.
The leader who can tell the difference between genuine alignment and expensive silence is worth more than any system you'll ever implement.
Most can't tell the difference. Your people can.
