New Information may resolve a confusion that might otherwise be a Puzzle. Spend as much time as the group would like on each of the 5 segments. A full Temperature Reading takes anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour or more, depending on the size of the group and its circumstances. If time doesn't permit a full Temperature Reading, focus on Appreciations and skip the rest. Aim to conduct a Temperature Reading regularly.
Some groups devote a portion of every staff meeting to it.
Others do it monthly. Some do it at the end of a project, as well as at key milestones during the project. Don't feel obligated to wait for a Temperature Reading to express an appreciation. Do it when you think of it. It can become a wonderful habit.
