Tip #3: Give everyone an opportunity to share
We tend to listen to people who think fast and could get skewed towards the extrovert people. Instead, we should give equal opportunity to everyone in the team including the people who think slow and deep. I have been managing this is by encouraging the team to share some of the ideas that they can forward before the meeting and look for at least one answer to following questions -
Q1. What went well that they would like to acknowledge and maintain?
Q2. Recommendation to improve – this is different from “What needs to improve?”. It gives opportunity to the person to think about the improvement areas and bring options to the table.
