Hold Stand-up Meetings

Application

• When people remain standing meetings seem to finish earlier.
• Positioning of the participants change.
• Lazy people prefer to be absent.
• The group can easily move to view a demonstration.
• The message conveys, "This is a happening place."
• The manager can depart more readily with, "Well you people seem to have this under control. I'll leave you to get on with it."
• A pat on the shoulder is easier to administer.

Stories

"We've got to sit down and..."

I don't know about you but whenever I hear public figures announce they must sit down to resolve a certain issue it makes me cringe. I envision all sorts of non-productive games, hidden agendas, buck passing and all the other destructive things that can happen in a meeting. It would be more encouraging to hear someone say, "I'm going to invite the other leader to join me in a long stroll under the sun and I'm sure we can work something out."

Outcomes

• Fewer meetings.
• Practice will engender more frequent single topic problem solving.
• Less obesity is probable.
• Venue selection is simpler.
