The Radical Transparency Retrospective
When things are being hidden. Surface the 'undiscussables' in a constructive way.
About this session
Teams often struggle with 'undiscussables'—the critical issues everyone knows about but no one mentions in formal meetings. This session provides a structured environment to voice these hidden tensions and convert them into a shared list of prioritized fixes.
Why it works
By explicitly labeling the session as a space for radical transparency, the facilitator lowers the social cost of speaking up about sensitive topics. The three-step progression ensures that the conversation moves quickly from airing grievances to identifying concrete ownership, preventing the meeting from devolving into a circular complaint session.
What you’ll walk away with
- Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
- Documented decisions and next steps
- Improved team alignment on the topic
Who it’s for
