Great post. I found Lencioni's Death By Meeting helpful in regard to staff meetings as well. Your suggestions complement his nicely. Thanks.

Aloha Rob, mahalo nui for your comment and for visiting Talking Story. I am very glad you liked the post.

I’ve had a few of Patrick Lencioni’s books slip down the arbitrary priorities of my Amazon wishlist — perhaps it’s time for me to look them up again. Mahalo nui for the suggestion.

Rob you have a great blog. Among other intrigues, this sentence in your post on the “Advantages of Anonymity” really drew me in to read with my Kona coffee in hand,

“Because of this, I think blogs can bring the psychological principle of the ‘intimate stranger’ into play.”

I’ll be back to read more! A hui hou,

I am following this advice, and I feel like my meetings are productive and helpful. Thanks for putting into words what every corporate manager should be doing, but generally isn't in American business today.

Aloha Libercontrarian, thank you for visiting us here on Talking Story and for leaving your comment for me. I am very glad to hear that my own experience has proven to work well for you too.

We can - and do - spend a considerable amount of time in meetings, and the possibilities of what can actually be accomplished in that amount of time is pretty mind-boggling. Meetings are one of those things a lot of people complain about when instead they should be part of the solution and simply not take it anymore. So I applaud your efforts and commend you.

Please do stop by and visit with us again, my aloha to you,
Rosa
