Team Meeting Effectiveness-Outcomes
“Anything we get, we will take.”- Acceptance of bad results
Continuing with our three post team meeting improvement series.
After a Purpose has been stated out load, the team needs to know why this meeting is important. The best way to get this information to the team is to clearly specify what is the desired Outcome of the team meeting. This is the O in the POP technique.
The clarify of the desired outcome needs to be obvious. If we do this meeting then we will produce this desired outcome. And more importantly, at the end of the meeting, restate the desired outcome and whether it was achieved.
In my opinion anytime you need multiple outcomes you need to schedule multiple meetings. Cramming outcomes in one meeting makes the meeting too long and often times ineffective. The team burns out and it jeopardizes whether anything will get concluded.
Today’s question is:
“Do you state the desired Outcome at the beginning AND confirm achievement at end of the meeting?”
