5 Essential Questions to Ask Before a Meeting
Bernadette Jiwa, a branding consultant from Australia, encourages us to ask these questions: 1. Why are we having this meeting?Is the point to manage or to lead? If it is to manage, ask yourself if you really need to meet.
2. Do I really want to speak to, connect with, change this person?
Be honest with yourself. If you have no choice, understand that your intention affects what happens.
3. Am I treating my colleague like I would want them to treat me? 4. What value am I adding by being in the room? Bringing your whole self into the room (even if its virtual) ignites things, and might be more rewarding to you, too.
5. Could we do this by e-mail? If you can't attend the meeting with the right intention, e-mail might be the right way to go.
