ABSTRACT

The Blobs fall into the most open question category. The more open the question,

the greater the range of answers. For example, the question, “Which Blob is the

happiest?” will provide a rich discussion, provided the leader affirms each answer in

the positive. A leader who contradicts a member of the group with expressions such

as, “I’m not sure I agree,” or “It’s patently obvious that you are unable to read body

language,” will soon find many in the group stop sharing.
