You’ve seen it happen. The person who mistakes volume for value. They speak first, speak longest, and speak over everyone else—until the room starts nodding, not because they agree, but because they’re worn down. This is how bad ideas get traction. Not because they’re strong, but because no one stopped the noise. The loudest voice drowns out better thinking, smarter solutions, and the people who actually know what they’re talking about. And when leaders let it happen, they accidentally reward arrogance over competence. The message becomes clear: if you want to win here, don’t be right—just be louder. The fallout is real. Quiet talent shuts down. Meetings turn into echo chambers. Decisions get made on force, not facts. And slowly, credibility drains—not just from the loud voice, but from you as the leader who didn’t cut through it. In this episode, I’ll show you exactly how to interrupt that cycle. You’ll learn the simple move that re-centers the room, makes space for the right voices, and proves that leadership isn’t about volume—it’s about vision. Because leadership isn’t about who talks the most. It’s about who ensures the right voices are heard.
