A Smoother and more Productive POSITIVE Meeting

We had a meeting at work today on a topic that not everyone knew much about at the beginning of the meeting. Knowing that the topic could have been buried under a welter of negativity I suggested to the chairman that we split the meeting into two parts:

  • positive comments only
  • negative comments allowed

That is what we did and everyone stuck to the spirit of the split and the negative aspects of the meeting were relegated to the final 5% of it. The outcome was that the meeting was much more productive and, shall we say, positive?

I was very happy with that!
