"Did We Just Have A Good Meeting? I'm Not Sure." (6): Putting VitalTalks & Consultative Leadership Together

(Thanks Again to Richard Hawkes, Growth River and his article “How Do You Know You Had A Great Meeting?”)

Step 1: Preparing the Agenda and the Participants

1. Assign Accountability For Meeting Success To A Single Leader: The meeting itself needs an owner. In accordance with consultative decision-making, before getting into any planning details, make sure one individual is designated to drive the overall success of the meeting.
   
   
2. Gather Topics: The meeting leader is accountable for soliciting input from others (i.e., by email, a pre-meeting, etc.). The meeting leader prioritizes an initial list of topics to be covered in the meeting.
   
   
3. Set The Stage: If the group is not already familiar with the two principles of high performing meetings, share this web series with them.
   
   
4. Assign Topics and Determine The Participants: The meeting leader should determine before the meeting:
   
   • Who will be accountable for driving each of these key topics to resolution?
   
   • Who should participate in the meeting?
