In my leadership work I am shocked by how many teams for the most part participate in meetings that are basically a waste of time. We value collaboration but we just do not possess the competency to stop dumbing down the content so that everyone can be involved. A significant investment should be made in assessing the effectiveness of all your teams and this Forbes post is a great place to start:
“Today’s world demands more from teams than just cranking out the work. We need people who are creative, who think for themselves and build on each other’s ideas, who exceed expectations and deliver outrageous results. The question is how do you go beyond productivity, efficiency and execution to something bigger and ultimately more important?”
