Team Meeting Rules Create Sweet Results
By Renée Eaton
Last week we held one of our New Product Development meetings (keep an eye out for more about these exciting initiatives in future newsletters). The theme for our meeting was chewing gum. I know, odd right? But trust me, once we started with it, it stuck. :)
Before our meeting, invitations were sent out to all our employees with personalized BizXcel gum, “The Gum of Business.” On the day of the meeting, the theme continued with our rules for discussion. They were:
- Chomp into discussions openly and honestly.
- Give everyone an opportunity to chew their thoughts.
- Blow the lid off ideas.
- Unwrap issues.
These carried our meeting to highly successful results. Everyone was able to openly express themselves and their ideas. Creativity and innovation were achieved through teamwork. Why not try implementing these rules in your next meeting? You’re sure to achieve sweet results.
Seizing the Day discusses changes at BizXcel and how we are always transforming and advancing in order to serve our clients better.
