Sometimes it is easier because there is no pressure to make a decision.

It is a time to share, but sometimes good ideas do come up. We rarely  
do this because our agendas are so full but when we have, it has been  
very productive. It brings out issues that are bugging people but  
have not been through the team structure -- and often don't need to.
