SUMMARY

How to have less but more productive meetings

Rules and Preparation

Structure and awareness of conversation drift

Tool to fill out in advance:

  • Purpose: should be a verb and very short (exampe: to align on the next phase of the rollout, to debate the merits of changing suppliers, to review last quarter’s performance)
  • Goal: what do you want to walk away with at the end of the meeting (actions, alignmuent, understanding, fire in the belly)
  • Agenda: provides structure for the meeting and must support the purpose and the rules.
  • Expectations: rules of the road; come prepared, be on time, come with ideas

    • Effective Meeting Tips:

    • Don’t bring problems only. Bring potential solutions as well.
    • Magic questions: What are you struggling with? What help or resources do you need from me or others

      • TOOLS/RESOURCES
