As prosperity comes from productivity, so it seems, why would you devalue your and others’ time by hiding behind a screen during those invaluable moments of a meeting, while keeping up the appearances you’re really interested & capturing everything?
Why bullshit this thing?
Do this:
Send an e-mail upfront
– No laptops
– No smartphones
– Only pen and paper
The only screen in the meeting?
The big screen connected to ONE laptop,
containing all the topics to be discussed.
Next:
One person keeping track of time per topic.
One person moderating the conversations & conclude next steps.
Full attention, eyeballs reached, message received.
Listen first. Discuss. Define next steps.
It works.
Do it.
