Run the round
- Choose two to four prompts for a meeting break. Present them as hypothetical preferences, not decisions about anyone's role or workload.
- Read and display both choices. People may speak, type, write, point to a labeled option, use a communication aid, or pass.
- Both, neither, or a third option is welcome when the choices do not fit. Explanations are optional.
- Do not use responses to evaluate colleagues, settle a workplace dispute, or ask for private company details.
Scoring: No correct answers and no points. Do not reward the majority choice or rank coworkers' work preferences.
