Workshop - Teamwork Ain't Always Easy
summary
Three simple, concrete methods decide whether to watch: use fist to five for quick low‑risk votes, run collaboration contracts to assign Explain/Consult/Agree/Advise/Inquirer roles (used with 8–12 people and in a 34‑person startup example), and apply parallel thinking via six thinking hats to separate facts feelings risks opportunities. Claims include faster decisions, less anchoring, and workable outcomes (interest leagues and an internal product called AGillustration; $2.4M seed figure mentioned).
