Zzzzzzz. Do employees doze off during team or project meetings? Unless you carefully plan these regular meetings, they can turn into status-laden, painfully boring snore fests.
But the right tools and processes can transform meetings into productive, engaging experiences. Here are four strategies for taking your next meeting from boring to brilliant:
Instead of doing that | Do this | Here's how | ||
Spend most of the time with just one person droning on and on and on . . . |
Involve a wider spectrum of team members
|
|
||
|
||||
Talk about the same dull subjects every time |
Cover topics that are of greatest interest to participants
|
|
||
|
||||
Focus on sharing updates and reporting progress |
Engage team members to solve problems and generate ideas
|
|
||
|
||||
Use PowerPoint for everything |
Think outside the box to create interest
