We enjoyed the session, and found many themes resonating with the goals and orientation that we are addressing with the Practicing Management effort. There's much you can to do improve the meetings you run – - and attend! – - if you draw on the practice of preparing-acting-reflecting on every meeting. To follow up on some specific things, we thought we'd add a few thoughts and resources here. We've listed highlights from your "Notes to Self" and uploaded our notes from the discussion on what to do before and after meetings. Also check out the powerpoints that we showed--including some more detail on some of the key ideas.
...
What's interesting too is how strongly you're committing yourselves to making the meeting effective. The only caveat: make sure you're not the only onealone. Don't be the only one rolling the ball uphill; enlist your fellow participants on the road to good meetings.
