Question: Today all circles are virtual. What advantages do you see in them compared to ordinary circles where people physically sit together and feel each other?

Answer: Stop it, conduct research on why this is happening and what is the disadvantage of our work. And start again.

Question: Often the bosses at work do not accept the circle method for making decisions because they are afraid of losing authority, power. How do we solve this problem?

Answer: You can’t do anything here. We must fight this.
