How to Diagnose Team Dysfunction in Five Minutes

Lucas and Luna explore a simple diagnostic tool called the ‘team meeting audit’ that helps first-time managers spot dysfunction in under five minutes. Lucas introduces a specific framework: score your weekly team meeting on four dimensions — psychological safety, decision clarity, action ownership, and energy. If any dimension scores below a 6 out of 10, that’s a red flag for deeper issues. Luna pushes back on whether a single meeting snapshot is fair, and Lucas explains why the weekly all-hands is actually the best proxy for team health. They discuss a real example from a mid-stage SaaS company where the audit revealed that nobody felt safe disagreeing with the VP — and how the manager used that data to redesign the meeting structure. The episode ends with a practical challenge: run the audit at your next team meeting and see what you learn. No ads.
