THE LAND USE APP
MEETINGS -- RUN A BETTER ONE!
FORMULA: It's a simple formula that I have developed and used in thousands of hours in meetings over 30 years of facilitating...it works. It's like dangling a carrot (spelled CARAT), but used backwards to fit the sequence, TARAC.
T=TIME: Set a time and stick to it. If you start and stop late, you will encourage attendees to be there late. Be on time.
A=AGENDA: Always have and post your agenda; send it out by email ahead of time if possible. Stick to it. Use a "hopper" flip chart page for things not on the agenda. Deal with them later.
R=ROLES-RULES: Ensure everyone knows why they are at your meeting -- to vote; to listen; to provide input; to plan; whatever. And give them some Ground Rules at the start.
A=ACTION ITEMS: Keep track of and reiterate WHO is doing WHAT and by WHEN so as to make your meeting productive.
C=COMMITMENT: Get a verbal (spoken) agreement from those having action items. Make them say, "Yes, I will do it."
