Suggested Ground Rules for Collaborative Meetings 

       
      • Everyone Participates–No One Person Dominates
       
      • Listen As An Ally–Work To Understand Before Evaluating
       
      • An Individual's Silence Will Be Interpreted As Agreement
       
      • Assume Positive Intent First When Things Go Wrong
       
      • Minimize Interruptions And Side Conversations
