Meeting Management during change

The leader’s role in meeting management, is not for the faint at heart, particularly in times of change. Meeting management requires the leader to maintain a focus on the task at hand as well as focus on the interpersonal dynamics of the group. Focusing on the task requires the leader to mindfully introduce new information and new initiatives, lead through the process of closure and abandonment of current initiatives, guide discussions, clarify issues, allay fears, and suggest the likely consequences of lack of successful compliance.

When in a leadership position, to take charge means that in a timely fashion, you will lead group discussions out of the past and encourage the group to move forward, into the future. Leading the way, you’ll share your vision for the future, brainstorm the possibilities, and communicate your commitments to excellence.

You’ll want to maintain focus on the action plan and accountability, and how you’ll accomplish the goal. Take care to disallow the discussion to get sidetracked to the past – where it’s most comfortable.
