How many meetings have you left wondering:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat did we actually decide?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

And the answer was:<\/p>\n

\u201cNot much. We talked about a lot of things, but I\u2019m not sure we actually decided anything.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now for the harder question:<\/p>\n

How many of those meetings were led by you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most meetings don\u2019t suffer from a lack of discussion.<\/p>\n

They suffer from a lack of decisions.<\/p>\n

So how do you move a meeting from talking about things<\/strong> to getting things done<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

The answer can be surprisingly simple.<\/p>\n

In a previous post, \u201cStrengthen Your Meeting Agendas\u201d<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0I shared one of my favorite meeting practices:<\/p>\n

Turn every agenda topic into a question you want answered.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead of putting:<\/p>\n

National Conference<\/strong><\/p>\n

on your agenda, ask the question you want answered:<\/p>\n

How can we increase attendance at our National Conference?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Or instead of putting:<\/p>\n

Customer Service<\/strong><\/p>\n

on your agenda, ask the question you want answered:<\/p>\n

How can we turn customer complaints into satisfied customer endorsements?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Questions give your discussion a destination.<\/p>\n

But there is still one more step.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, your meeting can easily become:<\/p>\n

We talked.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We discussed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And then we talked some more.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That is when it is time to:<\/p>\n

Call the Question!<\/strong><\/p>\n

In parliamentary procedure, \u201ccalling the question\u201d means moving toward ending debate and making a decision.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m using the phrase a little more broadly here.<\/p>\n

When the discussion has done its job, move the group from discussion to decision \u2014 and from decision to action.<\/p>\n

How?<\/p>\n

Ask three simple questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

What? Who? When?<\/strong><\/p>\n

What are we going to do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who will do it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

By When?<\/strong><\/p>\n

And before you move on to the next agenda item, ask one more important question:<\/p>\n

What did we decide?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now your meeting has produced more than conversation.<\/p>\n

It has produced clarity, ownership, and accountability.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But there is one final step.<\/p>\n

At your next meeting, don\u2019t simply start with a brand-new agenda.<\/p>\n

Start by reviewing the commitments from your previous meeting.<\/p>\n

Ask:<\/p>\n

What progress has been made on what we agreed to do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then review:<\/p>\n

What was to be done?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who owned it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

By When?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That simple rhythm can transform the productivity of your meetings:<\/p>\n

Ask the question.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have the discussion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make the decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Assign the action.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Follow up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you consistently ask What? Who? When?<\/strong> \u2014 and then follow up on the answers \u2014 your meetings stop being places where things are merely discussed.<\/p>\n

They become places where things get done.<\/p>\n

From Discussed to Done! <\/strong><\/p>\n
