“Act as an experienced meeting facilitator. I'm leading a discussion where team members have different opinions about [describe the issue or decision, e.g. "whether to extend the project deadline or cut scope"]. Here are the main perspectives I'm aware of: [list 2-4 viewpoints briefly, e.g. "some want more time to ensure quality, others are worried about budget overruns, leadership wants to hit the original date"]. Create a facilitation guide for me that includes: (1) a neutral opening statement that frames the discussion constructively, (2) 3-4 open-ended questions I can ask to surface concerns without putting anyone on the defensive, (3) the core trade-offs or decision criteria we should discuss as a group, and (4) a closing statement that helps us move toward next steps even if we don't fully agree yet. Keep the tone collaborative and focused on finding a path forward together.”
