THE CORE PROTOCOLS

THE CHECK IN PROTOCOL

The Specific “In-ness” Commitments

When you say, “I'm in” (see “Group Check In”), you commit to the following behaviors:

  • You will listen and observe fully.
  • You will offer to the team and accept from the team only rational, efficient behavior.
  • If the team or its members stray from the CheckIn commitments, you will mention the deviation as soon as you are aware of it and recommend alternative action. If disagreement about your perception arises, you will efficiently propose appropriate alternative action and resolve the conflict using Decider.
  • You will accept explicit emotional information as valuable.
  • You will be aware of your ratio of time spent effectively speaking to your time spent listening.
