Today there was a great article in the Wall Street Journal by Sue Shellenbarger – Meet the Meeting Killers. In the article she identifies 5 personalities who can kill your meeting:
- The Jokester
- The Dominator
- The Naysayer
- The Rambler
- The Quiet Plotter
The article also includes some great tips on how to deal with these personalities.
In addition to these tips Sue also stresses the importance of an agenda, which I fully support…. and MeetingKing can help you with your next agenda.
