One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to make sure the understand what we’re doing by asking them is we understand what is going on

I make an effort to include missing voices/ perspectives by make everyone pay attention to the person’s voice who is not being heard. The way I would do this is to get everyone attention by doing “The Clap” and getting everyone’s attention

I know the group is working well together when I hear/ see and group of calm and collected people who only ask important question and after the question pure silence
