Welcome to this new episode where we provide some insights about the (THE LEADERSHIP HANDBOOK) book written by the American Author and Leader John C. Maxwell. The book provides important lessons for leaders to be successful and effective in their work and life.
The eighteenth lesson of the book is (The secret to a good meeting is meeting before the meeting). The important points under this lesson is the following:
- Meetings typically fail for two main reasons: the leader lacks a clear agenda, and others in the meeting have their own agendas.
- Meetings are meant to get things done. To do this, you should often hold a pre-meeting to prepare people.
- As a leader, you need to help followers see things the way you do. This requires time and commitment.
- Give influencers the right perspective before the meeting, and they will help you spread this perspective.
- Making change happen requires the trust of your followers. Holding a pre-meeting provides an opportunity to cultivate that trust.
- Good leaders are usually very good at understanding what's going on. They have strong leadership instincts. They are connected to their followers.
- Holding good and productive meetings is really a matter of preparation and planning.
- The more you prepare for a meeting beforehand, the less time you'll spend mitigating the damage afterward.
- Many leaders don't use a structured meeting format, and as a result, their meetings often spiral out of control.
