the fishbowl effect

Where an individual or a group of people are being analysed by people external to them.

Can be a work situation where there deep insights are being sought to create a plan of action to support a transition to new ways of working or behaviours.

The meeting participants were less than the analysts, creating the fishbowl effect where they felt uncomfortable to share openly and transparently.

I felt like was a fish in a bowl with a whole lot of magnified eyes peering at me.
