The focus is on strengthening the role of a leader in carving out an environment that encourages open, honest, and constructive discourse. The goal? To make meetings a significant tool for decision-making, enhancing group interactions, and boosting productivity.

Ken emphasizes "Group Agreements" as the centerpiece of a productive meeting environment. His in-depth discussion provides practical tools and tips on how to develop these agreements among team members recognizing and addressing common issues and pitfalls in both before and after the meeting scenarios. His insights are culled from his extensive consulting experience, having worked with senior management teams across diverse industries, and have been tested and proven to work effectively. To that end, since these are videos, you can see what the models and tools actually look like for your benefit to learn how to use them in your own journey!

A PDF file of the diagram is also available for download. This hands-on approach to sharing knowledge underscores Ken’s aim to provide practical solutions.
