This is Nod. He is the highest-paid employee in your company.

His pay is the value of every judgment your team withheld. The “looks good” on a PR nobody read. The estimate nobody challenged. Add it up.

A well-fed Nod fills the room. That is when he quietly becomes the elephant in it.

The only way to fire Nod is to make him speak. The moment he speaks, he stops being Nod.
