Background

Early this year, we had a day set aside entirely for team building.

There are so many things to share when a group locks itself away from his normal working environment into hopefully a nice settling off campus.

What was shared?

Making thinking visible

How do we make our thinking visible?  And, how to encourage others, likewise  ….

Here is what the facilitator shared:

1. Make your own thinking visible
   • Share opinions
   • Provide reasoning
   • State disagreement
2. Help others make their thinking visible
   • Seek information from others
   • Ask others for their reasoning
   • Examine Others
   • Ask others to state disagreement
3. Help move group to agreement
   • Summarize agreement and disagreement
   • Recommend compromise
   • Check/Poll for agreement
   • Establish next steps

Apology

Again, these are not my words, but someone else.

I am openly sharing it in hope that it helps others.
