One with an agenda, identified and discussed at the meeting’s start. One with minutes being taken. One with debates and discussions, involving men and women, and staff from each level of the organisation. One that reviewed decisions from this meeting, and identified a date for the next.This may not seem significant for some. I, however, have spent months encouraging discussions of how to improve communication within the office, and how we can make staff meetings useful for all those involved. I have given repeated reminders of agreed meeting dates, and even given trainings on that fascinating topic of how to write meeting minutes. All the while wondering if anything would actually change.For me then, today’s meeting is indeed significant. It’s also more than just another positive. It’s a sign of positive progress. And that’s even better.
