Executive Insight
Tip of the Week

Hi !
Welcome to this week's issue of Executive Insight.
The Voice of a Group
I've had the privilege of being a member of a group of 20 professionals participating in an adult learning forum. This forum has occurred as an immersion, and as such, we've experienced a lot of togetherness.
Early on, two voices dominated the others, and although they expressed vastly different points of view, they had a similar impact on the rest of us. First, their comments were more about them and their point of view than about the topic we were discussing. Second, they didn't seem to realize that they weren't connecting with the rest of us. Third, they relentlessly tried to "sell" their ideas to us without regard to relevance.
This situation is replicated in one form or another in meetings in organizations everywhere, every week, in every venue.
I've reflected about this, especially as it pertains to the distractions that arise when one or more voices dominate. Granted, this is a big topic, but taking advantage of my recent experience, here are a few top line thoughts about how to develop the voice of a group that meets on a regular basis.
If you have some ideas that work for you, feel free to email me, and I'll be happy to share your thoughts in a future issue.
For now, reflect on your voice, and have a great week!
