When the group is converging (or needs to be) is when it's most important to draw boundaries. When group is in divergence (or needs to shift that way), it's not. I really wish I could combine this vote with Tree's for structure/flexibility above, I just think we're choosing different flow/rhythm cards to keep in mind when considering whether to draw a boundary. I think it's very important to have a flow pattern represented, and that this or structure/flexibility would be more whole than either Priority Focus (convergence/structure) or Follow the Energy (divergence/flex). --John................................Groups with new members coming in should be prepared for divergence. Groups that are in the convergence phase of Divergence and Convergence Rhythm should probably not be accepting new members. - wiki
