Have you ever been frustrated because your board meetings dragged on endlessly and left you feeling exhausted and ineffective? It’s time to say goodbye to those snoring meetings and welcome to energized productive collaboration.
Begin with a broad-based overview
Often, board members need to be informed about new initiatives or products. It is crucial to provide them with this information, but not at the cost of the other meetings. Instead, the board meeting tips should focus on facilitating discussions that result in constructive decision-making.
Ensure everyone feels heard
A common reason for yawning-inducing board meetings is because one person in the group feels like they are not being heard. It could be that they aren’t able to speak as clearly than others, or that their opinions and ideas don’t seem to fit with the discussion. If you’re worried about the absence of participation in your board meetings, consider incorporating more interactive elements into your meetings or asking questions to stimulate discussion.
Set clear goals for each board meeting
Make sure that each member of the board understands the reasons for this particular meeting taking place and what they want to do to make the most of it. Set clear, measurable goals for every meeting. Then, communicate them to the board prior to the meeting. The board should also decide on a structure for the agenda and distribute it ahead of the meeting so that attendees are prepared with questions.
