Week 2 worksheets
1. The influence map (evidence artifact)
Started in activity 1 (map your influence), finished as this week's take-home. List your current team plus 2 adjacent stakeholders (people outside your team whose work touches yours, like a product manager or a lead on a neighboring team). One row per person. Mark exactly one column per row: voluntarily means they follow you when you have no authority to make them; by role means they comply because of title or process only.
| Name | Team or adjacent stakeholder | Follows me voluntarily | Follows me by role only |
|---|---|---|---|
The one broken relationship (one name, the relationship most worth fixing): __________________
Diagnosis of the missing connection (5 lines). What do you not know about their goals? What deposit never happened? Which currency of theirs do you hold and have never offered?

Counts as done: the map (Canva frame or photo; a photo of this filled table works) plus the 5-line diagnosis, submitted by Thursday 6:00 PM, before session 3. Reflection without the artifact counts as not done.

3. The conflict translation
From activity 4 (the disagreement you never closed), in pairs. A position is what they ask for. An interest is what they actually need. Positions collide; interests usually leave room for a deal.
In the session (the 8-minute pair slot)
