Sharing brilliant meetings
Page 102. Sharing brilliant meetings. If you want people to say of your meetings that they just don’t get better than that, share them as a thinking environment. As a team, leader, or manager, or chair of a meeting, consider these nine simple guidelines; 1-give everyone a turn to speak. 2- ask everyone to say what is going well in their work, or in the groups work. 3- give attention without interruption during open an even firing discussion. 4- ask incisive questions to reveal and remove assumptions that are limiting ideas. 5-divide into thinking partnerships when thinking styles, and give each persons 5 minutes to think out loud without interruption. 6-go around intermittently to give everyone a turn to see what they think. 7- permit also the sharing of truth and information. 8- permit the expression of feelings. 9- ask everyone what they went well in the meeting and what they were expecting each other.
