One sure-fire way to have an unproductive meeting.

So you have just finished a meeting, and as everyone meanders out of the room, one or two people hang back to discuss the meeting.

Ideas are put forth, opinions (usually negative) are shared and in worst cases, decisions are made on the spot.

Friends – if you find that this is happening, stop it immediately. ❌

The post-meeting meeting is:

☠ disrespectful to those who attended the original session
💀 ineffective because new information will need to be communicated to all
👹 counter-productive to efficient decision making.

Be brave and share your thoughts in the original meeting – with everyone there.

The post-meeting chat is non-inclusive behaviour. Just don’t do it.
