02Play · the two stances

The situation“One person on my team is blocking everyone else.”

This is a choice between two stances. Work out whether the blocker is protecting their own position or pointing at something real the rest of the team hasn't noticed, then make the matching Play.

Play A

Ask the blocker for the fix

the bottleneck is ego-shaped.

Play B

Put them on the fragile part

the bottleneck is pointing at something real.

Each positions you differently for the next conversation. You choose.
