Managing Meetings - A new imapMyTeam report

In last weeks Tuesday Tip we discussed ‘meeting madness’ and how truly difficult it is to run a universally well received meeting when there are so many competing motivational needs at play.

This week we are introducing a new report called ‘Managing Meetings’

Managing Meetings describes various strengths you have and where those strengths are helpful to getting results in meetings. The report then takes you another step.  It suggests ways in which you will need to modify that strength when what you are doing isn’t getting the results you want.

In fact, the Managing Meetings report also reinforces what we discussed last week. It lets you know in advance how overuse of your strength may cause “meeting madness” if you continue to force your way down that path oblivious to others reactions to your behavior.

Questions that you might ask yourself to determine when you need to make the adjustment:

-          Are people reacting the way I expected them to?

-          Are people engaged?

-          Is the person behaving the same in meeting as they do out of meeting? If not why?

-          Are we getting something accomplished in the meeting? If not, what is preventing that?

If the answer is ‘no’ to most of these questions you’re probably experiencing a lack of traction in the meeting; you likely have a mismatch between your strength and their need.

Get the meeting back on track by implementing the appropriate adjustment suggested in your Managing Meetings report.
