Meeting Reflection
In general meetings are made to discuss a problem or an issue
that concern certain people. However, basic steps should be followed by the
parties to have a successful and useful meeting. Moreover, sending an agenda of
the meeting to the participant in advance, choosing the suitable people with
right qualification, sticking to topic and the time limit of the meeting.
In my opinion, during the meeting participant should be
focused on the main topic without any interruption from outside or inside the
meeting. Enough time should be given to discuss the topic without any
elongation or repeating the ideas. Long meeting are boring if necessary a short
break in between would be useful to refresh the participant. In our group
meeting my role was a participant. The meeting went smoothly with good and
clear ideas. I learned that we should prepare for meeting in advance; positive
negotiation is very useful between the members to improve their thoughts and
ideas.
In the graded meeting the group was under more pressure because
of the new topic and limited time to prepare for the meeting. However, it was a
very good challenge to discover the skills of the students. On the other hand,
choosing a topic with having enough time should conclude to a good meeting with
good results and feedback.
As a manager I would inform participant and send them the
meeting agenda in advance. Meeting should be in proper timing neither too early
nor late. Also, I want my meeting to be focused on the issue without exceeding
the limited time. Finally, do not hold mean fewer meetings otherwise your employee
won’t take them seriously.
