Six questions
worth sitting with.
The questions we take into every organisation we work with. Three are on this page. Email us to unlock the rest.

When a company grows, it goes quiet, and the quiet is invisible from the top.
Nobody decides it. You add people, layers and pressure, and at some point speaking up starts to cost more than staying quiet. Problems surface late. Ideas die in corridors. The people who carry your culture leave, and you find out why in the exit interview.
These questions don't produce a score.
So what's worth noticing isn't whether you can answer these. It's which one you have to think about.
The fast answer is the one every leader gives.
Start here.
Read them, give it a think, and note down your answers.
When did someone last disagree with you in a meeting, with others watching?
Most people will disagree with you privately. Far fewer will do it in the room.
- Was it the same person it always is?
When did unpleasant news last reach you undiluted, from two or more layers down?
Information gets softer at every handover. What matters is whether it reached you at all.
- By design, or by accident?
Think of the last person who burned out. Did you see it coming, or only after?
People rarely collapse without warning. They just stop showing the warning to you.
- How long had they been managing it alone?
The harder ones.
Two more, plus one for organisations that span markets or layers. Same shape: a question, and the thing worth asking yourself straight after.
On what your last two resignations told you, and on the person in your leadership meetings who says least.
Get all six.
We'll send the full set. If you answer one of them below, Ania will come back to you, and if you'd like to think it through properly, that's the Silence Scan call.
Or skip ahead.
If you'd like to work through your answers with us, book the Silence Scan call. Thirty minutes.
