meeting environment. Each team appoints
a spokesperson who moves
from that team’s table to another
team’s table. The spokesperson presents
the first group’s conclusions while
the second group listens in silence. The
spokesperson then turns around to face
away from the second team, which rips
into the presentation, no holds barred,
while the spokesperson listens quietly.
Each team’s spokesperson visits other
tables in turn; by the end of the session,
all the ideas have been well dissected
and honed. Taking turns listening in silence
helps everyone understand the
value of listening carefully, speaking
openly, and not taking criticism personally
