How Conflict Norms Produce Faster Meetings and Better Decisions

Episode 3

Thursday, January 30, 2020 • Duration 15:45

Conflict already exists every time team members gather for a meeting. The goal is to get all the conflicting opinions and perspectives out on the table and to make a decision that everyone is comfortable committing to. Conflict norms are an incredibly effective way of making sure that happens, and in this episode Jim and Margot will share 5 specific conflict norms to consider implementing on your team.

Example 1: Real-Time Permission

§ A team member interrupts discussion in real time to point out positive behaviour and reinforce it for the whole group.

§ Helps reinforce what is and is not helpful/acceptable as difficult topics are discussed.

Example 2: Removing the Back Door

§ Once a decision has been made, it’s not acceptable to approach the leader later and present more information in order for the decision to be re-evaluated.

§ Helps reinforce that people need to come to meetings prepared and speak up while the discussion is happening so time can be used effectively.

Example 3: Silence Equals Disagreement

§ Assume that if people haven’t voiced their opinion, it’s not because they just agree with what’s being said—assume that they disagree and ask them to weigh in.

§ Helps reinforce that everyone needs to weigh in and keeps decisions from being made without everyone’s commitment.

Example 4: Roman Council

§ Call out the potential decision to be made, and everyone holds out their hands with a thumbs up (yes, go ahead), a thumbs down (no, I’m not committed to this), or thumbs sideways (I need to understand more before I can decide).

§ Gives opportunity for a quick visual gauge on the level of commitment to a direction, and can save meeting time.

Collaboration vs Hoarding in Team Meetings

Episode 2

Thursday, January 30, 2020 • Duration 22:55

Getting all the information on the table so decisions can be made accurately and effectively is the purpose of team meetings. But lots of senior leadership teams experience about a third of the team members doing 80% of the talking, and valuable information gets left out—sometimes intentionally as a power play, and sometimes unintentionally. In this episode we’ll address how valuable information and perspective gets kept out of the discussion and what you can do to get it back in.

What We Mean by Hoarding

§ Some people are wired to express themselves by talking more—sometimes these people hoard air-time.

§ Some people have an agenda of what they want to happen in the meeting—sometimes “hoarding” is in reference to control.

§ Some people hoard information simply because they don’t show up really committed to engage and share.

§ Some people hoard resources out of bias for their own department getting ahead.

The Collaboration Mindset

[00:04:30] If we come from a collaboration mindset, we can begin the conversation by thinking about how this issue that we're talking about gets the best outcomes for the entire organization. One of the crucial keys to make this happen is that, as a leadership team, we create collective goals, goals that involve everybody. We're all equally responsible for this together.

[00:21:16] If we're really going to collaborate, we're going to draw other people's thoughts out. We're going to offer our ideas generously. We're going to notice body language that's impacting the team and call it out. We're going to make it be about the team rather than about ourselves.

Tips for moving away from hoarding and towards collaboration:

§ Talk less; ask more questions.

§ Extroverts: Invite the more introverted members to share, and prove to them that you value their opinions.

Make It Happen IN the Meeting

Episode 1

Thursday, January 30, 2020 • Duration 20:58

Just about every leader feels like they have too many meetings. But one of the biggest ways leaders can make their time more effective is by cutting out the side conversations, the “meetings outside the meeting” and making sure all the conversations that need to happen take place WITHIN team meetings and with the whole team’s engagement.

What you’ll learn in this episode:
Why team members prefer side conversations instead of bringing things up in the meeting.
How to have accountability conversations within meetings well.
How a solution-minded team is different than a team that dismisses or blames.
How a leader can model how they want people to engage in meetings.
Why all leaders should talk less and ask more.
How to get better engagement in your meeting.
Why better engagement in your meeting and fewer one-on-one conversations outside the meeting causes affects team morale, unity, and trust.
