Description

You can’t do your job if you don’t know what’s going on.  So, you gather your team for a mandatory staff meeting.  Maybe they grumble and complain about how this impedes their autonomy, or maybe they gleefully prepare dog-and-pony slides in which they play the hero. Either way, you end up sitting through a meeting where each of your team members answers the unasked question of “how’s it going” in his or her own way, and you’re left to decode what’s really happening, what problems they’re glossing over, and what results you can actually expect next week, next month, and next quarter. 

If you find yourself presiding over an arms race of ever-rosier outlooks, ever-more-closely-managed presentations of current status, and ever-less-informative discussions about the real results you need your teams working on, this webinar is for you.  In it, award-winning author and repeat SMM presenter Ed Muzio will show you what you can do to your meeting, today, to get it functioning better as soon as next week.  You’ll get yourself out of the business of guessing what people mean, and get your team sharply focused on the real results that you owe your own boss.

About Ed Muzio

Ed Muzio has been called “one of the planet’s clearest thinkers about management practice” – by someone who would know, the editor of a global management magazine. He’s a recognized leader in improving human performance through his analytical approach to culture change. Maybe that’s why one reviewer called his second award-winning book, Iterate, “a must read for CEO’s and leaders.”  

A regular guest on CBS, Ed works with Fortune 500 leaders and managers, individual practitioners, and everyone in between. He has been featured as a workplace dynamics expert in international media ranging from Fox News and The New York Post to Spirit Magazine and Monster.com.
