Ch 9 Meeting: Leadership and Productivity



This chapter talked about meetings which are intended to accomplish tasks or move actions forward inside an organization. Once you’ve decided to hold a meeting, planning the meeting is important should follow the guidelines of clarify the purpose and expected outcome, determining he topics of agenda, select attendees while considering the setting, determining when to meet and anticipate the needed meeting information.
Conducting the meeting itself, the leader should on the decision-making approach (leader vs consensus decision), clarify the roles/responsibilities of attendees, establish the meeting ground rules, use common solving techiniques (e.g. brainstorming , decision trees)
The last part is making sure meetings lead to action. There are 4 steps that help in this area including assigning specific tasks to specific people, review all the actions/responsibilities at end of meeting, and provide a meeting summary with assigned deliverables.
