Purposedifferent
When many people in a group too rarely get to speak, 1-2-4-All distributes thinking time more fairly. The format builds participation step by step and makes quiet or still-unformed thoughts usable faster.It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped.
