A room full of professionals trained to work with children saw something they didn't understand.
So they convened. They escalated. They built a case.
Not one of them asked the obvious question.
Leaders do this every single day. Someone underperforms, you discipline the output.
Someone goes quiet, you call it disengagement.
Someone pushes back, you call it resistance.
You're treating the symptom. You're skipping the diagnosis. And the real issue stays buried.
Ask first. React second. Every single time.
That one shift will change how you lead, how your team performs, and what they carry with them long after they leave the room.
Swipe through. This one's worth sitting with.
