[Verse 1] Sarah sits in boardroom silence, watching numbers that don't add Boss presents the quarterly targets, but the math is really bad Normally she'd bite her tongue and let the meeting carry on But today she's got a mission, time to right what's going wrong [Chorus] Disagree drill, speak your mind Don't let errors slip behind Generate alternatives, show the trade-offs side by side Three minutes max to redirect When senior stakeholders deflect Speak up now, bring truth to light Turn the murky crystal bright [Verse 2] Marketing requests a campaign, wants it launched by Friday noon Instead of just accepting it, she sketches out a different tune Option A is what they asked for, rushed and risky, might fall flat Option B takes two more weeks but lands with greater impact [Chorus] Disagree drill, speak your mind Don't let errors slip behind Generate alternatives, show the trade-offs side by side Three minutes max to redirect When senior stakeholders deflect Speak up now, bring truth to light Turn the murky crystal bright [Bridge] Role-play with your trusted partner Practice makes the courage stronger VP says "We're going forward" But you see the hidden dangers Sixty seconds to acknowledge Sixty more to plant the questions Final minute offer options Transformation through suggestion [Verse 3] Document each confrontation, track the outcomes good and bad Sometimes pushback yields breakthrough, sometimes makes the bosses mad But silence builds up toxic fog where bad decisions multiply Better weather temporary storms than watch the whole thing die [Final Chorus] Disagree drill, speak your mind Don't let errors slip behind Generate alternatives, show the trade-offs side by side Three minutes max to redirect When senior stakeholders deflect Speak up now, bring truth to light Turn the murky crystal bright From ambiguity to clarity tonight [Outro] Challenge, question, simulate Before it gets too late Truth emerges when we dare to communicate
