Noticing and naming team patterns in real-time
To develop the team's capacity to notice what is happening in the moment. Cultivate the habit of pausing to name what is happening: • 'I notice the energy dropped when we started discussing that topic.' • 'It seems like we're circling around something we're not saying directly.' •… An ongoing team scaffold (team practice), run continuous, not as a one-off session.
