Check in with “What’s on your mind?” If you have an agenda, turn each topic into a question. If you’re having a meeting, it should be to celebrate something or to solve a problem. Ask, “What’s the real challenge here?” for each topic, so you get clear on what you’re trying to solve, and what data would be useful for solving it. Finish the meeting by asking, “What was most useful or most valuable here for you?” It’s a chance to stop and articulate what was helpful about the meeting, and what you should do more of in the next meeting to make it even better.
