More top tips for meeting

management

1. Debate, Conclude, Act. Use this technique to structure discussions. Involve

everyone in the discussion around the topic, then draw conclusions that fall out of
the discussion. Then and only then, when everyone accepts the conclusions
determine the right actions, allocating ownership to the right person.
2. Avoid summarising. If you round off the meeting with a summary of
conclusions and actions, this doesnt leave you knowing if team members are
truly committed. Instead prompt the meeting to summarise with questions like,
Can you present the conclusions we have made? or Exactly what actions do
you commit to John/Susan/Fred etc?
