Most business meetings are unproductive. Usually they end up too long, little decided and people turned off. You can change that! I suggest the following:
1. Decide what needs to be accomplished today and FOCUS on that.
2. Each morning take ten minutes and decide what are the most important tasks for your employees and communicate it.
3. Check on them several times with mini meetings. You will be surprised how much will be done.
4. Make sure you thank them as they do it and correct problems as they occur. Do not wait to give praise or correction.
5. When you do have staff meeting...have an agenda with time lines and stick to that.
6. At the meeting make sure you tell people what happened that is positive.
7. Present what is going wrong in the approach of "How do we solve this". ..not who do we punish.
Most of all think of meetings as a chance to motivate, communicate and inspire.
