At some point all consultants will be on the hook to lead a senior team meeting. Meetings get such a bad rap now and are perceived as a waste of time either because they lack purpose, focus or exceptional facilitator who is able to draw together and synthesize disparate perspectives. Why is this meeting taking place?

You need a senior person at a meeting. The meeting is supposed to start at 2 pm. When I've asked why the person is late, they often say, “I had another meeting that ran long.” Note: Before you judge a person's intent, you might want to ask why someone is late to your meeting. The leader strolls in at 2:15.

Tim, a C-Level leader, loves his skip-level meetings. He feels the meetings offer him a chance to connect with people he doesn't normally see. Sharon, a different C-Level leader, never conducts skip-level meetings. She feels that those meetings might cause her managers to feel unsafe, as if she doesn't trust them.

As consultants, we are required and recommended to take notes for the meetings we attend. Meetings in a ‘professional setting’ on the other hand, can be complex – they can be long and very detail-oriented.

Note: data-informed does not mean you don’t create broad-stroke plans, such as roadmaps and gross estimates. Here’s why.

One of the most common mistakes that managers make is not having one-on-one meetings with their direct reports or not holding meetings with any kind of consistency. That should be enough for any leader to jump on board with wanting to hold one-on-one meetings with their direct reports. Start the meeting on time.
