Camrio Consultants conducted a meeting to make a decision about continuing a business contract with a client. The manager presided over the meeting and gave reasons why the company should continue to be associated with that client. Ron, a senior employee, had a different opinion about the matter. However, he did not voice it because he was afraid of being perceived as annoying. Later, Ron discussed his concerns with his colleagues and realized that they had the same opinion that he had, but they did not speak up for the same reason, their fear of being judged. What is most likely to be a reason for this fear?
