CB.2:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Common wrong turn	Practical repair
Invite a large audience and wait for useful conversation	Arrange one relevant request and the contributions needed to answer it; expand only where the activity can still be supported.
Ask volunteers to “engage more”	Name a worthwhile action, the person it helps and its actual effort; make refusal informative and permissible.
Select helpers by visible status alone	Establish their suitability, availability and permission for the specific question.
Treat every answer as equally valid to maintain harmony	Compare the assumptions and domain basis; retain uncertainty or seek a qualified contribution where needed.
The organiser answers, prompts and follows up everything, then declares the community independent	Identify the organising contributions, retain necessary support and test a specific redistribution.
Count a useful discussion as successful application or learning	Obtain the relevant later observation before making the stronger claim.
