#243: Uncommon -- Management Meetings

Continuing on our assertion that we cannot do common things and expect uncommon results, today we are discussing management meetings. I’ve noticed that the best career stories, those told around the Owl Bar perhaps, usually have to do with breakthrough realizations during time with management, when an insight about the company culture was unlocked, or an understanding came to light, maybe of the troubles ahead, or more likely, of the vast scale of opportunity before that company. We’d like those types of meetings to be less legendary, actually, because we’d like them to be less few and far between. We don’t have to settle for the 30 min slots at conferences as we build relationships with companies and management teams, so let’s take this opportunity to start exploring how to make common management meetings generators of uncommon insight. Let’s jump in.
