I don’t know, I’ve been a manager for a lot of years, and I see the same dynamic/breakdown on my teams. A small percentage are willing to bring up a topic with the group, no matter how candid and accepting the atmosphere is. Once they do, there are more who will chime in on it to agree or disagree. But half the group will generally stay silent, but might come to me later 1 on 1.
