你是不是每天都在開會？專家統計, 主管們通常在一個星期內都花了3天在開會。有些必要, 有些真的可以省略! 就讓我們來看看是如何讓會議可以快一點結束。

4 Purposes:

1. Decide
2. To do
3. To learn
4. To create

What do we say when we notice the meeting is lacking structure and want to get things back on track?

1. To decide
   1. Before we continue other discussion items, I’d like to finalize _________.
   2. It’s important that we make a decision on __________ before continuing the meeting.
2. To execute
   1. There have been a lot of great ideas today, but can we get a clear set of actions to take next before discussing other items.
   2. Let’s end this discussion with a clear milestone to hit before moving on.
3. To learn
   1. I think a lot of this information is useful, but much of it is in the email. Are there any new pieces of information or things we haven’t discussed before that we could focus on?
   2. I’m happy to look through these (charts) after the meeting. However, I think there is some information that we are missing and I’d like to discuss it while everyone is together.
4. To create
   1. While I love a good brainstorming session, do we have a more concrete framework we can use to guide this discussion?
   2. I would suggest that we tackle these new ideas with a bit more structure, so we can refer back to our meeting notes in the future.
