In a previous article we went over the cost of bad onLINE meetings. So what is a good onLINE meeting?

Good onLINE meetings are working sessions which will result in a team making money. Solid plans, strategies, etc. are the products of good meetings. This is one point many teams miss. A meeting needs to have an outcome that supports the team goals and objectives. A meeting to simply pass out information or to "check in" with each other is at best a waste of time and at worst an obstacle to achieving your goals and objectives.

Good onLINE meetings actually save money because they are shorter more results oriented, and result in everyone supporting the decisions made. This "efficiency" shows up in implementations that are less expensive and more productive. Cognitive dissidence requires that people try to act in a rational manner. Being part of decision means you will try to insure that the decision is successful.

Good onLINE meetings showcase teamwork and when people work as a team, they feel pride and ownership and they feel they can accomplish anything. This is the hallmark of a high performance team. Teams that see success and are part of success will tend to continue to be successful. Attitude is a powerful driving force for teams.

Good onLINE meetings tend to be shorter without one or two people dominating the meeting. This results in maximum productivity and better solutions reached in a quicker amount of time lead to higher productivity. An effective meeting tells the team that people do care. An ineffective meeting tells them just the opposite.

A team needs meetings to achieve success since they all must work together to achieve it. Good onLINE meetings give each team member what they need to create their part of that success. They clearly show the team members what and how they will be successful.
