Engagement Basics
Art of the ask: Start by asking a question, not uttering your opinion. Weigh in last as a leader. Balance leading and following.
Psych Safety: Help quiet people speak up (and don’t let the talkers dominate). Democratize participation. Mute before you refute. Remember SCARF impact.
Common ground: Acknowledge and build on what others say. Focus on empathy and explore what others share. Plus before pivots: Add a “plus” to others’ ideas.
Please discuss with your partners:
