MORE DRAMA

The key to making meetings more engaging—and less boring—lies in identifying and nurturing the natural level of conflict that should exist. By putting the right issues—often the most controversial ones—on the table at the beginning of their meetings, you can create genuine, compelling drama and prevent your team from checking out.

MORE CONTEXT

Unfortunately, no amount of drama will matter if leaders don’t create the right context for their meetings and clarify to team members why the meeting is taking place and what is expected of them. To create context, leaders must differentiate between different types of meetings.
