60 Seconds to Brief and Focused Meetings

60 Seconds to Brief and Focused Meetings

We've all heard the standard suggestions many times before: Have an agenda, be on time, be prepared, and so on. But easier said than done. Here's a new idea for keeping meetings brief and focused. Print the following phrases in very large type, each on its own piece of paper (fold in half to sit like a tent card):

• Don't Digress
• Get to the Point
• Time

Put the papers on the table in plain site. They will act as a constant reminder to everyone to avoid digression, be conscious of time, and get to the point! You'll be surprised at the improvement you will see with something so simple!
