"Get ready. Successful
managers must be visionaries, owners, cheerleaders for the business
case, implementation managers, organisational facilitators, change
agents, collaboration agents, and the organisational conscience." |

To keep
meetings focused,
when someone interrupts and raises an unrelated issue, you should
politely question the person about the comment's relationship to the
topic. Helpful: Create an
idea bin for unrelated ideas. Post a blank chart on the wall and
label it idea bin. When an
unrelated idea is brought up, write it on the chart ... and then leave
time on each meeting's agenda to consider Idea Bin material. Many of the
new ideas may have been resolved during the meeting. The unresolved
ones, though, can be handled at the end of the meeting or put on future
agendas. - SOURCENOTE: Steve Kaye, PhD, author of
