The Cost of Silence.

Every leader says they want a strong culture. But here’s the truth: Culture isn’t built by what we celebrate in public, it’s built by what we tolerate in silence.

If small frustrations go unspoken…
If feedback gets bottled up…
If recognition never gets shared…
If ideas are met with resistance…

Then silence becomes the norm. And silence slowly erodes trust.

Growth always has a cost. Sometimes that cost is the discomfort of saying what needs to be said, of having the hard conversation, of choosing honesty over ease. 

But that cost is also an investment: in clarity, in trust, and in building a culture where people don’t just work, they thrive.
