How to Run a Meeting Effectively

1 How to Run a Meeting Effectively Hello Nikkie!

I like how concise your post is. It's heartwarming to hear that your meeting was productive and that the purpose was accomplished. I particularly like the fact that you have used a research-based argument (Belbin's role characteristics) to identify the role of the person who called the meeting. This is better than basing the response on imagination or personal opinion. I also like the fact that your team engaged in open and unfiltered conflict on ideas you had on how to expedite the process. According to Adam (2023), such steps can lead to valuable discussions and innovative ideas. I appreciate your opinion on what could have been done to make the meeting more effective. Deliberating over ideas that have been discussed after a meeting makes it difficult for attendees to forget what was discussed. I think that if participants in your meeting took their own notes, the meeting would have been even more effective as they could refer to the notes every time they forget about what was discussed.

Hello, I like how comprehensive your post is. The level of organization and efficiency demonstrated in your meeting is very impressive. Setting a comprehensive agenda covering essential aspects of a meeting the way you did demonstrates a proactive approach to addressing all necessary aspects of the agenda (Dogan et al., 2019). I totally agree with your suggestions of how the meeting could be made more effective. I particularly like the suggestion that the individuals running meetings should try to engage everyone. There might be participants with helpful points but are too shy to speak out. I think that in all meetings, chairmen should balance between giving opportunities to those who are willing to contribute and randomly picking individuals and asking them if they have anything to contribute. I also agree with your suggestion of what can be done to enhance team cohesion. I never thought about some of the points you have mentioned, like establishing shared purpose and clear communication, while preparing my post, and coming across them in your post is a great addition to my knowledge.

Thank you once again for your insightful and well-articulated post.

Hello. You have made such a great post. It seems like the meeting offered a great experience. However, I have failed to get the role the person who called the meeting played. I understand how important it is to have a specific agenda before any meeting, but I think the failure to do it in your meeting was not done with a negative motive since all the attendees trusted each other. I agree with you that planning early enough would have made your event better. However, I think that earlier planning would have only improved the event and not the meeting. I think your meeting could be improved by setting clear objectives and communicating the agenda to all attendees before the wedding, and engaging all the attendees (Castrillon, 2019).

I also think that including what could be done to enhance team cohesion would have made your post better. One of my suggestions is building trust and encouraging collaboration.

Hello. Your responses are very brief and straight to the point. However, I would have loved to get more details. It's interesting to learn more about the specific details of the meeting you described. I think the meeting’s organizers did a commendable job by ensuring that tasks were clearly outlined and minutes were distributed after the meeting. According to Castrillon (2019), these are some of the ways meeting organizers can maintain accountability and provide a reference for attendees to track their responsibilities. However, I think that attendees should also take their personal notes beside the minutes. I also appreciate the fact that your meeting was well-organized and fulfilled its intended objectives. However, I do not agree with your opinion that nothing more could be done to improve the meeting. It is like saying that your company met its sales target, and so nothing more could be done to improve sales. What about introducing the product to new markets?
