Lead yourself: two lids, one calendar, early warnings
How this board worksEach pair works on its own frame. Use sticky notes with your initials: 1rate your two lids2confess your calendar3post one burnout signal
Activity 1: rate your two lids
In your pair, 12 minutes. Drop an initialed dot on each scale, 1 (low) to 10 (high). Both partners rate both scales. Be honest, nobody is graded.
Where did the gap show up?
One sticky per person, with your initials. One concrete incident from last quarter where the gap between your two lids showed up.
The incident
a real moment, not a general feeling: the design nobody adopted, the stuck promotion, the team that shipped slower than it should
ONE STICKY NOTE PER PERSON
Activity 2: calendar confession
In your pair, 12 minutes. Pull up last week's calendar. Tag each block R1 (Requirement), R2 (Return), R3 (Reward), or none. Then post two stickies: your none-percentage in the red zone, your streams per day in the blue zone. The gold zone stays empty until the debrief.
Your none-percentage
one sticky per person: what percent of last week's blocks were none of the three Rs

Your streams per day
one sticky per person: how many separate projects or topics you touched per day

The room average
leave this cell empty. In the debrief we compute the cohort's average none-percentage and write it here. It is your baseline for this week's take-home.
FILLED IN THE DEBRIEF
Activity 3: your early-warning checklist
Solo, 7 minutes. Write your personal early-warning checklist on worksheet 3, then post your signals on this wall, one signal per sticky, with your initials.
One signal per sticky
this is a no-advice zone: we name signals, we do not fix them tonight. Two volunteers will read one signal out loud.

Take-homeThe calendar audit. Tag every block in last week's calendar R1, R2, R3, or none. Compute the none-percentage. Write 5 lines on what you would cut. Counts as done: a screenshot of the tagged calendar plus the percentage, submitted at [SUBMISSION LINK] by Thursday 6:00 PM, before session 2. No artifact means not done.
