To address patterns of division that limit the team's capacity. Periodically create space to examine whether the team is carrying resentments or grievances: Are there other teams, departments, or external groups we resent or dismiss? What is the history? An ongoing team scaffold (dialogue session), run periodically or when needed, not as a one-off session.
Hold with care
- Repair and resentment work opens real wounds; a facilitator able to hold emotional process, voluntary participation, and follow-through are part of the design
