Ten Ways to Ruin Your Strategy Meetings and How to Avoid Them

In This Chapter

  • Improving the success of your strategic planning sessions
  • Knowing how to avoid typical pitfalls in your meetings

In many organizations, retreats have a bad reputation because stepping in to one of the many planning pitfalls is so easy. Holding effective meetings can be tough, and if you add a lot of brainpower mixed with personal agendas, you can have a recipe for disaster. That's why so many strategic planning meetings are unsuccessful. The sections in this chapter focus on the ten guaranteed ways to ruin your next meeting and what to do to avoid them in advance.
