Minute this!
Posted by tngui79 on September 13, 2010 in Daily Rants | ∞
When attending a meeting, always remember to take your own notes, paying careful attention to action items and key decisions made.
If no one has the initiative to circulate the minutes of the meeting, draw up a simple point form record of the meeting discussion points and decisions made or action items to be handled. (this document is also known as minutes of a meeting)
The minutes of a meeting ensure that everyone who attended the meeting walked away with the same common understanding and is aware which tasks have been assigned to which individuals.
Take the lead and be the minute man/woman today. Your boss will appreciate it and your subordinates will learn from your example.
