New person recap
How to do it
The why behind it
This came from friends in law enforcement, who want to make sure everyone on the team is crystal clear on what their plan is. It's not a test of the new person. Rather, it's an indicator of how well the more experienced people on the team have shared the plan with everyone. Everyone...even the newest person on the team, should be able to tell you what you're about to do.
Put it in your own words
Jimmy, we haven't skied together before, and I may not have been super clear. Can you repeat back what our plan is for the day?
Mary, you were pretty quiet while we were discussing the plan. Now that we're finalizing things, can you share back what our plan is? Where we're going? Where we're making decisions, etc?
