In mindless teams, people work primarily from their assumption based expectations. They even go around basing their actions on their assumptions about the assumptions of others. Leaders impose all manner of expectations and corrective feedback based on assumptions about others. People deliver status reports based on their assumptions about what others want or need to know. People exclude others from conversations and efforts based on their assumptions about roles, interests and capabilities.
In each scenario, the team moves into a more mindful space instead one instance of curiosity at a time.
