5 Tips for Meaningful Meetings
You can get a lot done in a 15-minute weekly staff gathering.
I
know they're necessary evils, but staff meetings are a thorn in
almost every manager's side. Here are some ideas to run meetings
like a pro.
Keep a meeting scrapbook. Devote a notebook, journal or clip-
board as your staff meeting "scrapbook." Title it as such, and
keep blank pages and Post-its with it. Keep it on your desk or close by
for easy reference. I use a clipboard with a colorful notebook as well
as bright Post-its for staff meeting notes so they don't get lost in the
mix.
