Unlocking Efficiency: The Art of Leading Meetings and Committees

In the dynamic world of decision-making, committees often play a pivotal role, but they are a double-edged sword. When an important decision is to be made, each additional person in the group adds a unique perspective and a potential solution. Additionally, the absence of someone with a vital perspective can result in incomplete solutions with unforeseen consequences. Because of this we may think we should add as many people as possible to our meetings to ensure we come up with the best solution. However, this creates it’s own problem. As each additional member joins the group, the decision-making process slows down. While it may take 5 minutes for two people to get on the same page, it could take an hour for 3 or 4 people to align on the same topic. In my diverse roles, whether at work, within my church community, or in local initiatives, I’ve discovered a common thread that separates effective meetings and committees from the rest: A skilled leader. These leaders, like expert conductors, orchestrate the proceedings. They excel at idea generation, keeping discussions on track, and masterfully guiding everyone toward a shared objective. It’s a leadership art form that grows more complex as group sizes expand. <a href="https://medium.com/@alma.thurber/unlocking-efficiency-the-art-of-leading-meetings-and-committees-b4ff387b33e7">Visit Now</a>
