This seems infantilizing and cult like.
Forced speech in general is a red flag in a company culture or a relationship.
If people don’t respect that a decision has been made, that is a problem, but this ritual is not going to solve that.

Here's the article where Gokul recommends this approach: https://firstround.com/review/square-defangs-difficult-decis...
"After a decision is made, each participant must commit support out loud. Pledging support aloud binds you to the greater good."
To my surprise, this technique is highly effective. Might be worth giving it a try?
Saying this comes from the same kind as AdSense and Facebook ads actually makes it feel worse. :(
So, you want me to count coup in front of the defeated and make them state their surrender for all to hear? I would rather just move on to implementing the decision and rely on their professionalism to not break anything. Their are some folks in the US that do not react well to such public displays of acquiesce.
Search for "Dave Mitchell soapbox consensus" for a much funnier and well thought out look at it.
The whole point of cult-like behaviors is that they are effective tools of manipulation.
The downside is that they undermine the individual’s psyche.
Have fun playing with this stuff!
