Someone else asked me for these recently too. We are working on some new ones, but these are examples of our old ones:

These are great!
Thank for posting this, Kelly! It's a great example of higher horizons, too.
How do you "leverage the wisdom of the group"? If it were the "experience" or the "diversity" or another such word, I think I'd get it. But "wisdom" just threw me (oh, the irony...).
What might be an example of this?
Looking forward to the update...

It's a belief that others have valuable things to contribute and may see solutions that one person alone may not see.

Got it... thanks!
Often that's the challenge of being a one-woman operation... I have to look outside, to mentors and coaches and forums like this to find that wisdom.
I'd be curious to know how others find their "wisdom committees".

Another reason that I appreciate David Allen Company's approach to group wisdom is that it's a refreshing alternative to loudest voice wins or majority rule. (Can you tell I'm an introvert who has lived through more than one meeting full of extroverts*?) There's a genuine interest in hearing different, even controversial ideas. This ties in with the Holacracy principle that every member of the organization is a sensor who has valuable information.
* For fun, ask your search engine whether extrovert or extravert is the correct spelling. The answer is the punchline to the joke about accountants: What would you like the answer to be? And before anyone takes umbrage for CPAs and FCAs, please know that I am familiar with FASB and GAAP.

Dena,
I've been working on a project for my masters program all year (as have all of the students in class with me), and part of the process has involved participating in a project team with 3 of my fellow students. It's been such a great learning process for me because so much wisdom has come out of this group in ways that have really supported me, and I didn't know any of these folks when I began working with them.
It makes me wonder if wisdom can be gathered from any group of reasonably supportive people - maybe it's more about doing the asking rather than who's being asked. For an introvert like me, this has been a cool thing to experience and has given me more incentive to reach out.
