"How we work together" dialogues
To create space for explicit discussion of team dynamics. Periodically dedicate time to dialogue focused on how the team works together. Topics might include: • How do we typically make decisions? Is that working well? • How do we handle disagreement when it arises?… An ongoing team scaffold (dialogue session), run quarterly, not as a one-off session.
