I think when you've been in long maintenance phases like I have, you do have to inject a "re-forming" phase where you choose to do things differently and shake the tree a bit for the tean. Because, it is a danger when you're in a long maintenance period that stagnation sets in and the guard slowly starts to drop as things become routine, or worse mundane.

Nice one, Gary. I like the idea of acknowledging and switching to a "re-forming" mode.
Gary Hawkes
Really enjoyed that 👏
Ash Winter
The world changes around the team too, sometimes forcing that re-forming stage. Great shout Gary, another dimension to the discussion!
