Give them the spotlight. Guide them, but make sure they have a chance to shine. On the last mission, they let me do the plan: I made sure that while I did the setup work to make sure it went off right, pst a certain pint it was all them. (The covert ops guy got to snipe the hell out of things, and the driver got to drive a car through a restaurant. Oddly enough, and thanks to the dice, it went off perfectly: only two innocents dead, one injured -- pretty good for a snatch-n-grab involving firing an automatic weapon in a crowded restaurant.)

FWIW, this is much the same process that goes into reporter/editor brainstorming enterprise news stories at the newspaper I work -- and I imagine the same is true for any "new idea" in business. Thanks for laying it all out for us gamers to use. I don't think I've every really thought in those terms before as a GM, and it's great to see its application.

It helped me solidify a few ideas I had, and as a result, we had a great session last night. 2nd level D&D characters, near death experiences, life saving adventures, it was great!
