“The good news is that there is nothing inherent about meetings that makes them bad, and so it is entirely possible to transform them into compelling, productive and fun activities.” (Patrick Lencioni in Death by Meeting)
Meetings are a necessary and, potentially, extremely useful part of organisational life. Do you trudge to meetings wishing they were over before they start? Does your team leave meetings to rush around dealing with the same issues that could have been resolved in the meeting they just left? This is not just about the attitudes of team members to a meeting. It isn’t just about the construction of the agenda. It’s about clear purpose and design and each person applying their strengths to making the meeting work.
Meetings can be compelling, productive and fun when each person in attendance is clear about what they bring to the meeting, the roles that best use their strengths and the function of each meeting they attend. Can you imagine your regular meetings having those elements?
This workshop features presentations, exercises and discussions with clear action planning to revolutionise the way your team approaches meetings. The outcome will be that your meetings will be productive and welcomed by participants and that the rest of your time can be spent in activities. Individual coaching with the team leader and a follow-up report are part of the event.
