A step beyond just agreeing on a direction, project, etc. is a test for commitment. Each person gets a private vote. They write down a number from 0 to 10 with 0 = no commitment and 10 = highest commitment. If the average isn’t 8 or above then strong commitment isn’t there. Any votes of 0,1, or 2 must open the floor for additional discussion.
