People aren’t dishonest, they’re under social pressure. Here’s why false alignment destroys sustainability performance and how psychological safety restores it.
Most sustainability meetings aren’t full of truth — they’re full of performance.
Teams say “I understand,” “We’re aligned,” and “We can deliver that,” even when they’re unsure, overwhelmed, or confused. Not because they’re unprofessional, but because the emotional cost of honesty is too high.
In this episode, we expose the behavioural dynamics behind false agreement and why real progress starts with designing environments where honesty is easier than silence.
