Silence Speaks…
summary
Amina Bourguiba argues that silence—hesitations, unspoken tensions, and withheld ideas—contains vital information that AI and metrics miss in agile teams. She presents silence as an underestimated agile lever: a catalyst for collective intelligence, a space for essential ideas to emerge, and a way to guide teams by listening rather than imposing.
