Yes, and I don’t ask, ‘do you have any questions’ but rather “what questions do you have”? The assumption that people have questions works to generate an understanding. “Do you have any” tends to shut people down”.

Another great source for generative decision making is @samslade . She wrote Going Horizontal which describes generative decision making.

I do appreciate what you are talking about with giving space to think. I’m going to incorporate these ideas into my generative meetings!
