To see what happened previously, check out the earlier posts.
So let’s see what Denes could have done better……..well he has plenty of potential for development but i t would be a start if:
Have a concrete goal. e.g. just to know what the colleagues think.
Get the right participants.- In spite of her difficulties, Laura is more useful than her assistant.
Set goals for each of the participants . e.g. for Laura to show her colleagues some marketing solutions that can help the situation.
Send a professional, motivational invitation.
With all this in mind Denes decides to have another go:
„Right everyone I want to get to know how you all see the situation we are in and what we can do about it!” Laura, here for the first time, is sure that the key to all the difficulties is in the marketing and so speaks for 15 minutes about how important it is that they build their brand through social media as well as TV spots. Dora has a pat hate of all things marketing as well as Lara’s habit of endless monologues and then ignoring everyone else, and so interrupts. She is just about to start making the finer aspects of financial control and management systems clear when Laura cuts her off and starts on about posts, pokes and profiles.
Peter is asleep and so perhaps a poke would be useful.
After an hour of long monologues interrupted by bickering about some people being “sooooooo rude”, Denes decides that things aren’t going the way he wants.
What do you think went wrong this time?
