Well-organized meetings create fresh thinking and enable better decisions. No bystanders allowed. To accomplish this, Columbia Business School professor Christopher Frank, co-author of Decisions Over Decimals: Striking the Balance Between Intuition and Information, shares a quick four-question process.
- What is the purpose -- inform or compel?
- What is the issue in seven words or fewer?
- Who has already weighed in and what did they have to say?
- What could surprise me in this meeting?
...The ideal meeting begins before anyone meets. The next time you receive an invite, asking these four questions will save time and enable you to manage the fire hose of requests.
