Never lead a bad MEETING AGAIN, By jeff saari
If you are not leading the meeting but it is being run ineffectively, speak up. It can be a challenge and produce fear if the boss is leading the meeting, but as a participant there is a responsibility to speak up for the sake of the whole – or suffer through more bad meetings. I liken meeting facilitation to learning to ride a bike. At one point in our lives, a caregiver gave us the instruction and patience it took to learn to ride: pedal motion, steering, balance and braking. Unfortunately, this is not so with meeting facilitation skills, although it would have been great if we learned this art early on, it would have saved us a lot of wasted time
Some people do have a knack for people and group process, while others actually did learn this art early on, but for all the rest to whom meeting facilitation does not come naturally, there is hope, even a promise, that good meeting facilitation skills are learnable. But first, back to bad meetings. How you and I would define a bad meeting is probably similar: lack of interest, wasted time, boring, off-topic, negative behaviors (such as an overtalker or the side-converser), no clear purpose – and the list goes on. Conversely, a good meeting has a clear purpose and design, engenders appreciation and safety, has good ground rules and the right people involved, has an agenda and effective process, elicits equal participation, deals effectively with challenging behaviors and gets at desired outcomes. The costs of bad meetings to an organization are legion. Therefore it cannot be overstated that it behooves us to hold a rigor for creating high functioning meetings that get the most bang for the buck.
Now let’s delve into the skills needed to run an effective meeting. Most essential is attitude; attitude is everything. In my facilitation work I show up to a meeting with openness, gratitude and passion. I am excited about meetings. I love meetings because of the power they have to unleash the collective wisdom of the group and solve real organizational problems, as well as create high visions.
