Meetings…Making The Most Of Them 会议…懂得其中大部分的奥秘 67 Only call a meeting when it is absolutely the best way to accomplish an objective. Explore all other alternatives before calling a meeting. 除非召集会议是解决一个问题最好的办法,在这之前先去尝试其它的办法。 68 Make the meeting short! Most managers say that at least one- half of their meeting time is wasted. That averages out to 5 hours per week, 250 hours per year for each person involved. Wow! Make it a goal to cut your meeting time in half. If people are prepared before they arrive, most meetings could be accomplished in half the time. 让会议尽可能的简短!很多经理人都说他们至少有一半的会议时间是被浪费的。每人每周平均有5个小时,每年就有250个小时被浪费了.Wow! 争取把会议的时间减少一半。如果开会之前每个人都做好准备了,大部分会议的时间都可以缩短一半。 69 Write meeting objectives and the scheduled ending time on the board or flipchart before anyone arrives. This will keep the meeting focused and eliminate stress caused by overly long meetings. 在人员还没有到之前现在白板或者挂图上写上会议主题和预期结束时间。这将使得会议可以集中主题并且减少过长时间会议的压力。 70 If you are leading the meeting, sit at the end of the table so you can control the flow. 如果是你主持会议,那你就坐在桌子的最后这样你可以控制整个流程。 71 Make sure every meeting is absolutely necessary. Routine meetings are not a good investment unless they fulfill, or move forward, your objectives. 确保每个会议都是必要的。常规会议不是一个很好的投资,除非内容很多,或者确实朝着目标迈进了。 72 Look for meeting alternatives. If you can accomplish objectives by telephone, save everyone’s time and plan a conference call. 看看有没有其它可选择的会议形式。如果你可以通过电话来完成任务,那么就节约一下每个人的时间来组织一个电话会议。
