Keep Your Meetings Short and On Task by Standing Up

**CVT** · September 25th, 2013 10:47 AM

I employ that meeting style,- to keep the meeting at 10minutes max.

Or, I bring a timer (cellphone) and set it at 5minutes for get-updated meetings.

Pero, ang boss ko sa Corporate, tinatali kami sa meeting for hours, even during the weekends... Grabe!

I don't want to waste the time of my staff in meetings, as I believe that they should be a lot more productive in strutting their stuffs.

Basta lang I can monitor how they are progressing...

And they don't have a mind of their own,- meaning,- stick with the agreed gameplan of the team.

If they don't know how to proceed,- they should ask questions or I can always call a 30-sec timeout, so that we can all be in sync.

Any deviation, let me know in advance and if it makes sense to the team, then I will support.

Iyan ang aming rules of engagement.

Pero, mayroon pa ring mga bano....

Hay naku!

Emails are always a challenge.

Better to have a 2-minute face-to-face meeting (I go directly to the work area of the person and discuss with him).

And then, I confirm our discussion with a short email.

Servant leadership...

Alipin na talaga ang labas....

Pero minsan, ang bossing ay wala sa planta. Gaya dito sa amin. Ang next sa kanya ay plant manager na wala naman maibigay na magandang decision kasi takot, takot kasi walang alam sa mga nangyayari. Yun mga tao din niya, mahina rin magdecide kasi mga takot din

Di naman kelangan kasi para saan pa naging plant manager ka kung hindi mo kayang desisyunan yun mga bagay, especially mga maliliit na bagay. Kelangan daanin pa sa napakahabang meeting (2-3 hours meeting) at matatapos ang meeting na wala din nangyayaring solusyon.

Ako, pagdating sa mga tao ko, hindi ako nagpapameeting palagi. Tama na yun monthly meeting at paminsan-minsan na kausapin sila habang nasa production line.
