Hold Stand-up Meetings
Published: Mar 29, 2004
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."
