*How to reduce anxiety and uncertainty by transparently mapping the plan.*
This reminds me of [[The Map Is Not The Territory]].
It's kind of like [[understanding is mostly a process of clearing up misunderstanding]], the goal is creating a [[shared mental model]] when you are [[Leading]]. This process requires negotiation to some extent, and requires the balance of leading without dominating: [[Lead like a conductor]]. This is similar to being the [[learning leader]], so signpost for learning.
Signposting is the idea creating an effective representation of the plan, without being the actual content.
Weingart and Petro talked about signposting decisions.

The process is useful for any [[🐓 Idea Farm/2 Idea Guides/Growing Idea Guides/Teaming|Teaming]] situations, including teaming with learners, teaming with a resusc group, teaming for a meeting: [[Meeting Preparation Checklist]], so it's related to maximizing group [[Thinking]] becasuse [[group thinking is different than individual thinking]].
##### What would the opposite argument be?
If you knew where you were going, you wouldn't need to signpost.
