I have a meeting, but when it's over, it feels like there's nothing left. We have organized a structure where decisions cannot be made and words/rules for reaching conclusions without breaking the team spirit.
‘Good ideas’ keep coming, but decisions are delayed.
If standards are not shared, no conclusion can be reached even if everyone says the right thing.
One line at the start of the meeting: “Today, let’s decide **speed first**.”
Even though we’re talking about the results, the other person’s expression hardens.
The shorter the expression, the more likely it is to be translated as ‘attack.’
Target fixation: “This sentence/this schedule/this condition” instead of “you.”
At the end of the meeting, “So what did we decide to do?”
Without a concluding sentence, the meeting is consumed only as a ‘conversation’.
Last minute: **1 conclusion + 2 actions (responsibilities/due dates)**
If you don't redefine the standard/range, it goes into an infinite loop.
There is a lot of opposition, but if there is no alternative, emotions only build up.
Don’t mix exploration (ideas) and convergence (selection)
If there are more than three options, the conclusion will be delayed.
Even if you leave only the ‘conclusion’ instead of the meeting minutes, the next thing will be different.
Try saying: “Okay, then let’s reduce it to just A/B and decide here for today.”
Try saying: “I will only talk about results, not people.”
A. Then, if you replace ‘decision’ with ‘two-week experiment’, the conflict will be significantly reduced.
A team where only the talkative people keep talking, and the quiet people speak separately after the meeting. How to reduce the variation in speaking volume through ‘rules’ rather than ‘people problems’.
A team that loses speed while trying to reduce risk. This is not to abandon perfectionism, but it is a way to ‘stage’ perfection so that the team can safely become faster.
A team that is quiet in meetings, but whose complaints only leak out behind the scenes. We have organized devices that change feedback from being a battle between people to a ‘fight for results.’
The intention is to deal with the situation quickly, but the opponent feels it is an attack. We have compiled sentences/rules to reduce misunderstandings in asynchronous communication.
