CST 499 - Week 2

Last week’s reading was quite useful to me. It solidified a hunch I had about the need for extra effort prior to and after a meeting in order to ensure that the whole meeting was worthwhile and effective. At my own work previously a lot of meetings have often felt underprepared when the person who called the meeting spent most of the time ensuring we were all on the same page on the topic at hand. The advice for continual follow up also seems very important in this fast paced workplace environment and I hope to implement these suggestions into my personal workplace meetings soon. I have already discussed some of these ideas with coworkers, and they all seemed quite excited to take the initiative the next time it is one of our turns to pilot a meeting.
