Productive Meetings
Mark Batterson recently shared some great thoughts on running a productive business meeting.
#1 Start Every Meeting by Sharing Wins!
This puts you in a positive frame of mind. Don't under celebrate what God is doing!
#2 Do an occasional Offsite Meeting
Change of Pace + Change of Place = Change of Perspective
#3 Don't talk corporately about what can be handled individually!
If you talk about something that not everybody needs to know about you're wasting their time. And the larger your staff the more time you're wasting!
#4 Cut Your Agenda in Half
The more you talk about the less you accomplish!
#5 Make sure everything you talk about lands on a to-do list
Thought #3
ReplyDeleteDo NOT forget about the stock holders. And remember, each and every individual that attends a church is an equal majority stock holder in God's eyes.
Private business verses public organization. Who deems what the public has a right to know? One of the best ways to stifle growth within an organization is to put forth a persona of secrecy.
