Two Things to Do After Your Project Meeting

Ongoing team projects frequently require regular meetings. While you can accomplish a lot in the meeting room, the real work often happens when people go back to their desks. To make sure your team makes the most of the meeting, do these two things:

• Send a follow-up. Distribute a note summarizing the meeting’s outcome and next steps. People will appreciate your thoroughness and feel encouraged by the progress you all made.
• Offer help. Support anyone who may be overwhelmed or struggling with their assigned tasks. It stalls progress when team members hesitate to ask for assistance.
