Team Temperature: How to Control High Engagement, Prevent Burnout and ...
summary
Claims a repeatable method: use a measurable team temperature (too hot = overwhelm, low = boredom) and change it by exposing risks to raise engagement or by restoring security, order and vision to lower burnout. Distinguish technical vs adaptive problems (technical: write an instruction; adaptive: change beliefs), run premortems/zombie plans and a fear‑setting exercise from Stoic practice, experiment with short trials like a “puppy deal,” and apply these tactics to situations (bank security vs feature pressure, COVID/war disruptions).
