I had a very interesting experience today. I was participating in a meeting that had a very clear agenda, sent out with sufficient time to allow for proper and adequate preparation for same meeting.
As we started the discussion, a new member to the team asked an extremely pertinent question:
What is the objective of the meeting?
This changed the flow of the meeting significantly. Rather than blindly follow an agenda and tick all the right boxes, each agenda point was now focussed to answering that question.
Literature on management theory will tell you that this is how meetings should function. But it was a refreshing reminder seeing and experiencing the theory in action.
