When Everyone Says You’re Right > That’s the Problem.

There’s a moment every founder and CEO dreads.

You share an idea in the boardroom.
You look around the table.
And all you get are polite nods… or silence.

No one says it’s wrong.
No one says it’s right.
They just let it pass.

And in the silence, doubt creeps in:

• Am I missing something?

• Why does no one push back?

• Am I being humoured?

This is the villain of the echo chamber.
No straight talking.
No real challenge.
Just polite agreement that leaves you steering blind.

The Cost of the Echo Chamber

• Nokia’s collapse came when leaders stopped telling the CEO the truth about failing strategy, until it was too late.

• Korn Ferry research shows CEOs without robust feedback loops have 40% lower strategic agility.

• Kahneman reminds us: when you’re not challenged, you default to confirmation bias. You believe your own story until the market proves otherwise.

And in the Inner Game?

• Without feedback, Self 1 spins unchecked, second-guessing every move.

• The Chimp either inflates your ego (I must be right) or gnaws at your paranoia (I must be wrong).

Without truth, confidence crumbles.

The Identity Trap

As a founder, you’ve been conditioned to perform.
You’ve worn the identity of “the one with the answers.”

But if you’re always performing, no one dares to challenge you.
And without challenge, you plateau.

The real shift is from Lone Pioneer → Confident Leader.
Not because you always know, but because you’ve built spaces where the truth is spoken.
