84 Do not recap what has been covered for people who are late. Ignore them when they arrive and keep going. If you recap what’s been covered, you reward the tardy person and punish the “on time” folks. 不要追问迟来的人迟到的原因。不要去在意他们,继续开会。如果你追问他们迟到的原因,你是在奖励那些拖拉的人却在处罚那些遵守时间的人。 85 Take care of the most important item on the agenda first. If nothing else is accomplished, make sure you accomplish the most important reason for calling the meeting. 首先关注会议日程上几个重要议题。如果有事情没有能够完成,你必须确保你当初召集会议所想要讨论的几个议题都讨论完毕了。 86 Set time limits on how long you will allow people to “sell” their points. A huge time waster is people who continue to fight losing battles. Set limits on the time allowed per item and move forward. 为你允许每个人“推销”自己的观点设置时间限制。最大的时间浪费就是人们持为必败之仗而不停的争论。设置时间限制可以让事情前进。 87 Do not serve breakfast and meet at the same time. Doughnuts have never added to the productivity of a meeting. If the meeting starts at 9:00 a.m., serve breakfast at 8:30. 不要在会议同时提供早餐。油炸圈饼从来都不会为会议增加生产力。如果会议是早晨9点开始,那么就在8:30提供早餐。 88 If meeting over lunch, cover general items that do not require focus. It is more productive to take a 30-minute lunch break than try to keep everyone’s attention while serving/eating food. If one of your objectives is to set the scene for social bonding, allocate your mealtime to that objective. 如果会议要跨越午饭时间,那么就讨论一些不要太多注意力的话题。准备一个30分钟的午饭时间要比让每个人在吃东西的时候仍然保持注意力要方便的多。如果你有一个议题是为一个社会性聚会设置场景,在你吃饭的时候讨论它。 89 Complete all of your agenda items before moving to unrelated topics. Put important items not scheduled for the meeting on a “parking lot” flip chart for discussion later. The parking lot issues should be part of the minutes when they are distributed. 在转移到不相关的话题之前先完成你所有的计划内议题。把那些计划外的重要主题专门放在“停车场”挂板上以后再讨论。会后分发的会议纪要中应包含这些内容。 90 Appoint the last person who arrives for the meeting as the person responsible for taking the minutes. Bet they will show up on time for the next meeting! 制定会议上最后一个到的人负责记录会议要点。敢打赌下次开会他们很早就出现了。
