Читать книгу Effective Meetings in 7 simple steps - Barry Tomalin - Страница 13

These are single topic discussions with an open agenda where all ideas are welcome. The rule (not always observed) is that any idea, no matter how far-fetched, is worth voicing. The aim is to get ideas for future action, often in new areas of company development. Why go? They’re lively and fun and they help you get a feeling for other members of the group: how they think; what their priorities are. If you have something useful to contribute it’s also a great way to make an impression. One word of advice: never speak first. You’re better off keeping your powder dry until you know which way the wind is blowing. Then when you do speak, in favour or in opposition to what others are saying, you’ll make a stronger impact.
