This is something that I think all teams face. Unless you have a core group of a few people, there are bound to be those who get bored and are not as engaged and care about the subject as others. We make sure everyone has the 'opportunity to succeed' by letting them be in the discussion. However, it's like the saying goes, 'you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.' Those who are leaders and are engaged excel and stay focused, those who aren't focused are setting themselves up to be behind the rest of the year.
