Today, Iām talking about a phenomenon I see everywhere ā in workshops, in virtual calls, in team meetings, and even at home in my kitchen: diffusion of responsibility.
Hereās what I cover:
ā¢ Why the more people you have in a room, the less likely it is someone will speak up
ā¢ The difference between āwe shouldā¦ā and āI willā¦ā
ā¢ How this shows up in virtual breakouts (and what I do to get around it)
ā¢ A classic household example (starring Chris and the eternally soaking frypan)
ā¢ What it means for accountability in organizations
ā¢ The mindset shift from bystander to impact player
Youāll also hear my favourite prompt to cut through ambiguity and indecision:
Why not you? Why not now?
š So next time you notice something slipping through the cracks ā in life, at work, or at home ā maybe thatās your sign to take the lead.
