You are in a team that is addressing a problem, but the discussion has stalled. How would you unblock the situation?

  • I suggest that everyone comes up with the craziest possible solution.
  • I will ask the team what the main reason is for our inability to move forward.
  • I will change the environment – for example, I will suggest a break or another form of discussion.
  • I will try to break the problem down into smaller parts and solve them one by one.
  • I will look for external sources or an expert who could provide a different perspective.
