So...that is part of what is reflected >> on during the debrief meeting. Within an OST meeting, there is always the >> experience of leadership popping up by just about everyone; people stating >> that they experience a shared vision during the meeting; a real sense of >> community with good communication throughout; and self management within >> the container created. This is also discussed in the debrief meeting. Then >> comes the question that for me is of utmost importance.
