In all aspects of our lives when we get frustrated, annoyed or angry, our first instinct is to BGC.... Blame, Game or Complain... about the other person. Why do all my bills come on Friday so I have to wait until Monday to tell them about their dumb error? What part of "shut your barking dog up" doesn't my neighbors get? Why does my co-worker, my boss, my employee, my vendor, my supplier, my customer, my client, my patient have to be so difficult to work with? Yet we never ask - in what way would others say that I am being difficult to work with? If I get negative feed-back, instead of dismissing it - we don't ask what part of this evaluation is valid because I do that behavior sometimes. Or, I can't stand it when my significant other interrupts me because I've told the story 100 times or he knows what I am going to say. Yet, at the office, I have the reputation of interrupting others, particularly at meetings.
There are many books and workshops on "How to Hold an Effective Meeting" but how about looking at your behaviors at meetings.
