When was the last time you participated in a meeting where everyone felt empowered to share their thoughts and opinions freely?
Meetings are probably the most common and critical forum where people can collaborate and challenge each other. When all team members are actively involved and encouraged to contribute, a wider range of ideas, insights, and solutions can emerge. This diversity of thought enhances problem-solving capabilities, encourages innovation, and leads to more comprehensive and well-rounded decision-making.
In this module, we will explore practical strategies for facilitating inclusive team meetings, going beyond mere participation to embrace each individuals unique perspectives, ideas and contributions.
By the end of this module, you will be able to:
-
Leverage diversity in team meetings
-
Encourage constructive friction
-
Structure team meetings for greater inclusion
Let’s begin.
