Abilene Paradox

June 4, 2026

@ 9:00 am

- 12:00 pm

Ever sat through a meeting where everyone agreed on a plan—only to discover later that no one actually supported it? That’s the Abilene Paradox, a common group‑decision trap where teams move forward with choices nobody truly wants. This session helps state employees recognize the subtle pressures that lead to “going along to get along,” and offers practical strategies for speaking up, checking assumptions, and building healthier decision‑making cultures. Participants will leave with tools to reduce miscommunication, prevent costly missteps, and strengthen trust across teams. 

Duration: ½ Day
