The core protocols are a set of attitudes and simple behavioral rules that help teams work better together. It's especially suited to help foster great meeting. This is a 1 hour workshop you can run with a team to familiarize them with the concept and start a discussion if you want to adapt any of the protocols. The workshop was developed at Spotify.
