5 Steps to a Complete Meeting Overhaul

BlueSky Thinking Summary
Sanjay Khosla of Kellogg is a leadership and executive coaching professional who has broken all traditional meeting norms to engage teams for better productivity.
He suggests changing retrospective "business review meetings" into forward-looking "Business Outlook Meetings" (BOMs), where 70% of the focus would be on future priorities rather than harping Back on issues.
Basing pre-meeting preparation on more emphasis over slide presentations, Khosla insists on concise pre-reading material that brings out progress and areas needing attention.
Starting meetings and discussions with causes for celebration creates positive energy, good team morale and a proactive problem-solving tone.
Naming a "conscience" for the meeting will help keep agendas on track, off tangents, and moving along efficiently.
Khosla says clear agendas must be outlined ahead of time, with regular communications in between times for meetings to keep momentum and be flexible.
He focuses on building support to facilitate teams in continuous improvement and success.
