Strategy Execution requires diverse stakeholders to interact and collaborate. All the brilliant thinking done in private is no use if your peers and stakeholders don't agree to adopt and sponsor the solution. Diversity is a good thing if you know how to control churn:
- Establish the type of meeting: provide status, brainstorm, deep dive etc. Don't mix the meeting types.
- Facilitate the meeting: step up to the task or find a neutral facilitator. I define 'facilitation' as getting the quiet folks to speak up, getting the disruptive folks to shut up, getting everyone to listen to each other and moving the conversation along.
If you think the meetings you attend are a waste of time, its time to ask yourself what you did to contribute to the mess and what you can do to help.
