Eight Powerful Strategies to Fix Your Meetings

Meetings are at the heart of effective organizations. Each meeting is
an opportunity to clarify issues, set direction, sharpen focus, create
alignment, and move ambitions forward. We have to change the way we

think about meetings, the way we design and lead them, and, most
importantly, how we manage what happens between meetings.

Paul Axtell offers eight powerful strategies for fixing our meeting
problems, and within each strategy, he provides concrete advice you
can put into action immediately such as limiting participants, being
vigilant about what gets on the agenda, designing the conversation for
each agenda item, and managing the experience for everyone in the room
so people leave feeling heard and appreciated.

Here are the eight strategies:

Choose the perspective: This Matters.
Master effective conversations.
Create supportive relationships.
Decide what matters and who cares.
Design each conversation.
Lead meetings for three outcomes.
Participate in meetings to add impact.
Build remarkable groups.
