Who to invite can also be an interesting question but underlying conflicts and hierarchy within the group it is not the main reason meetings go wrong.
“In general the staff are motivated and enjoy their work.But! - It is Friday at 4 and the boss has called all staff into a four hour meeting to “discuss the results for the last quarter.” Today, the 35 guys from the factory are feeling so involved one of them has started knitting. The finance team are just about awake while HR, purchasing and logistics are already planning their ever shortening weekend. The only active people are the sales managers, the MD and the finance managers. The other 250 people are not thinking of signing up to the company loyalty program.”
It would have been better to go fishing, but what went wrong?
