- Check in after suggesting work split by asking "How does that sound?" to invite feedback.

- Ask "Does this work for you?" or "Does that seem fair to you?" to address fairness concerns directly.
- Naming fairness helps teammates feel heard and prevents resentment over uneven workloads.

- Use this as a second-step question after an initial check-in reveals discomfort.
