You want to progress when the time is right and calls out for the next step.

Forces:

  • Polarized groups often get stuck in tense “either/or” conversations. An integrating statement takes the form of a “both/and” comment, recognizing that each side of a polarity has validity.
  • When you wait long enough for a dialogue to run its course, some group member will nearly always volunteer an integrating statement.

Therefore:

Discipline to just stand there when you notice that the flock is circling around earlier statements to create space for anyone to speak up and utter a integrative both-and statement.
