The Cross-Functional Listen

A leader from one function spends thirty minutes inside another function's team meeting and asks the same one question. People describe friction differently when the listener does not own the system causing it — and that is where the highest-leverage frustrations live.

What this page used to be

This page used to publish the full visiting-leader script. We took it down. The script — how to set the visit up, how to run the thirty minutes, what to do in the forty-eight hours after — is part of the book and the facilitator workspace, not the public marketing site.

Stand up a workspace and the script, the schedule, and the log live alongside the patterns the visit surfaces.
