20 questions | about 4 minutes
Answer for how you actually behave, not how you would like to. The useful number here is the low one.
Why this matters now
Your biggest opportunity
Your other three
These are working for you already. Worth knowing which, so you can lean on them.
The part that matters
Your four numbers are one person. Put three people in a room and you do not get the average of their traits. You get the lowest one in the room, because that is the person who closes the conversation early, or stops offering the half-formed idea, or holds their position until everyone else gives up.
Watch the number as people arrive. Then move the sliders and make it your own room.
The two colleagues start from the range this cohort actually scored in. Drag them to match the people you really sit with, or add your own. Set each slider to how they behave in the room, not how they would describe themselves. This is arithmetic, not a prediction: it shows the lowest score present.
What it costs
A room at its lowest score searches close to where it already is. It finds the improvement quickly, everyone agrees because the improvement is reasonable, and the session ends on time.
What we are hired to do
The same twenty questions, run on your team. We find the lowest score, whose it is, and agree the real problem.
Which conversations, in what order, with what constraints and what incentives.
One to two days, facilitated. The structure does the work, so the quiet ideas get said.
You leave with decisions, owners and dates. Not themes, not a deck, not a wall of post-its.
One more thing
Working a hard problem with other people lifts serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine at the same time. That is the feeling of walking out of a session that went well, and the reason people ask when the next one is. A document does not do it. A chat window does not do it. It comes from a room with people in it.
If that is not where you are
The Monday Problem is five patterns that kill good decisions in the week after they are made, and how to tell which one is running where you work. It is the written version of what we look for before we design a session.
