Leadership
Finding the truth
Jacob has 100kg of potatoes, which are 99% water.
He lets them dry until they are 98% water.

50kg.

Facilitation
Swapping styles
A great facilitator adjusts their style during sessions.
At the beginning — be direct. New groups need someone to take charge and encourage participation.
As the meeting goes on and the group grows more comfortable, you can switch to a more consultative style.
Productivity
Ups and downs
On challenging days, doing the bare minimum is the most productive thing you can do.
