Another way to get your team involved in a meeting is to create an atmosphere where they feel comfortable enough to speak up. Harvard Business Review's Paul Axtell says it's important your team feels like they have permission to talk during a meeting, and this all starts at the top.
“The quest for better meetings ultimately lies in leading with mutual respect, inclusivity, and establishing a space that is safe enough for people to speak their minds.
"To create psychological safety during a meeting, ask the group to devote their full attention to each person who speaks, allow each person to take their time and complete their thoughts, and share what is valuable about peoples’ questions or comments."
Basically, sit up and pay attention to what people have to say—and the rest of the team will do the same when it's their turn to talk.
Staying on track and on time is essential for a productive bolivia telegram data sales meeting, so allocate a specific amount of time for each agenda item—and stick to it.
You don't want to kill the vibe or discourage anyone from asking questions. But even when team members are given the chance to speak, reserve the right to cut them off when the clock's ticking. If a discussion is dragging on, it's okay to table it and tell everyone that you can pick it back up later.
What's not okay is to let the meeting run 15 minutes overtime and throw off everyone's schedule for the rest of the day.
