Recognising People Beyond Cogs in the Machine
In our fast-paced professional world, meetings have become integral to our work lives. And many of us spend a significant proportion of our working week caught up in meetings. But let’s take a moment to reflect on how these meetings can sometimes make us feel like mere cogs in a machine.
Most meetings run in such a way that they turn into mundane routines that disregard the individual. They disregard the very people fuelling progress, and our individuality is overlooked. Not only is this disheartening, but it is ineffective and inefficient.
It’s time to rethink our approach and embrace a more human-centric meeting culture. It’s time to start meetings differently.
Imagine what would happen if, at the beginning of a meeting, there was dedicated time to greet and meet you as a person. And a chance to get to know your fellow team members better? The Lewis Deep Democracy Check-in enables people to land in the meeting and be present in the room. It creates space for people to share and welcomes unique contributions and diverse perspectives. It also encourages meaningful sharing so that critical issues can be flagged upfront. In this way, urgent matters are raised and can be addressed timeously.
The wins are enormous. It allows people to be recognised and give their best by cultivating an environment where every voice is heard, genuinely valued, and respected. Meetings become an opportunity for meaningful exchange and where important issues or concerns can be addressed.
Find out more about the LDD Check-in and pave the way for more participative, collaborative, innovative, and effective meetings.
