We all make sense of the world differently and make meaning differently. As we move into complexity that becomes a greater challenge.
Do you question the way decisions are taken in complex times? What might be going wrong in the way decisions are made in meetings?
I have been observing senior executive meetings and providing feedback and I found Keith Johnston from Cultivating Leadership has some great insights on this topic.
What insights you will get from this episode:
- Typical mistakes executives make in meetings.
- How early convergence and polite agreements get in the way of solving problems in complex times?
- Why letting go of – “holding on to rightness” – is so important?
- What assumptions get in the way of running a great meeting?
- Key ingredients of running meetings in complex times.
