Kill bad habits [3]: strengthen your meeting practices Please read “Kill bad habits” before starting to read this post. Excerpt from the post “Kill bad habits”: [3] Not always respecting a meeting time schedule and a strict agenda. It starts with people coming late to the meeting. Accepting this is always a bad start. There is a long list of the wackiest excuses for being late. The point is that being late to a meeting is disrespectful to everyone in the room. I remember a GM who was always late to the meetings he had to attend. Worse, he did not pay great attention when in the meeting, only offering a few statements here and there, and he would then leave early before any decisions were made. Can you imagine that he is now leading a major subsidiary? For centuries, there have been best practices, basic and more sophisticated ones, of holding effective meetings. In some companies, these best practices or rules are put on paper. Perfect. The unfortunate truth is that they are not always respected. A few examples of poor meeting etiquette: no well defined goals and roles, lack of preparation, last minute rush to prepare documents, review meetings poorly led, vague action items, no action owners and no target dates. What about your experience? You’ll tell me that you pretty well know how to run a meeting? OK, then let’s take a few minutes and let’s check a few points together. |
