I think one of the downfalls of remote work is that we don’t always feel like we are being heard enough.
The “Hand Raise” icons aren’t enough.
And our immediate response is then to speak over each other, continually over and over again.
As a result, the usefulness of our meetings declines because there is no more direction toward solving an issue, we only want to hear ourselves being heard.
The question then becomes how to do we ensure that everyone will always be heard and give them the proper opportunity to speak.
You create a goal, you create an agenda, you let everyone have an opportunity to speak, and you hear from all of them.
If you’re setting up a meeting so everyone else can hear you talk, that’s not a meeting, that’s a seminar.
