Don’t wait for a crisis to learn your teammates’ strengths. Find out on a slow Tuesday.

You find out what people are good at either in advance or during an emergency, and only one of those is cheap. A slow afternoon is the ideal time to learn who is calm, who is fast, who notices things, because nothing depends on the answer. The discovery costs almost nothing when there is no pressure attached to it.

Use the next quiet stretch to ask two people what part of this they like most and what they would rather avoid. Try somebody in a different role while the stakes are low. What you learn now is what you reach for when it gets busy.
