Content: It can be crucial to pick tactful language to present your feedback, to prevent defensiveness and steer the conversation to productivity, according to Monster. Staying Silent
Sometimes, it's prudent to not voice an opinion, depending on the leader, the venue and the other people present. For example, voicing an unpopular opinion in a large forum such a department meeting can create strong, negative reactions. You may be better off to more discretely bring an objection up to the appropriate parties afterwards. According to Atlassian, speaking up is only effective when done to the right audience. Leaders who prefer hierarchies or exhibit defensiveness may not respond well to opinions from line employees. Avoid expressing opinions that have already been expressed by others and don’t express a dissenting opinion when an executive has said the decision is final. ‒‒:‒‒
