Managing the participatory-style meeting
Article Abstract:
Organizational Dynamics Inc CEO George Labovitz favors a participatory management style. Participatory management is most effective when a manager doesn't know the answer, wants commitment and consensus, or wants to manage change. Participatory-style meetings need clearly defined objectives, even agendas. To orchestrate such a meeting, Labovitz suggests keeping the meeting focused, practicing effective listening, ensuring common knowledge of information being used, and giving roles such as 'information gatherer' or 'topic specialist' to participants.
