4. Example of a meeting Several people agree to meet at 9:00 to write a document. Two arrive at 9:30, and one doesn’t show up at all. One person takes some time to tell another what happened at the last meeting. At about 10:00 the people start discussing new items, though there is no set agenda. The people discuss the title for 30 minutes, including 10 minutes on the font sizes. For about 45 minutes, they brainstorm elements of the heart of their document. They set another meeting for the next day and adjourn without assigning tasks.

5. Features of meetings Meetings start and end on time. Accurate notes are kept. Discussions are focused. Everyone participates and listens. Consensus determines decisions. Criticism is civil, frequent, open, and frank. Disagreements are settled openly. Teammates understand tasks and complete them on schedule. Meetings are informal but productive People arrive late and the meeting drags on. No notes are kept. Discussions are rambling. One person dominates the discussion. Jobs are segmented. Criticism is hostile, disrespectful, or ego-driven. Disagreements linger and fester. Few tasks are assigned, and people ignore them. Meetings waste precious time. GoodBad
