  • PPP 413 | Meeting Goblins and How to Deal With Them, with Rich Maltzman and Jim Stewart
    2024/05/10
    Summary In this episode, Andy interviews Rich Maltzman and Jim Stewart about their book Great Meetings Build Great Teams: A Guide for Project Leaders and Agilists. They discuss the common reasons why people dislike meetings, such as lack of purpose and poor facilitation. They introduce the concept of 'meeting goblins,' which are negative personalities that emerge during meetings, and provide strategies for dealing with them. The conversation also covers the challenges and best practices of virtual meetings, as well as the benefits and potential pitfalls of agile ceremonies like daily standups. The conversation focuses on the importance of effective meetings in building great teams. Rich and Jim share their experiences and strategies for running successful meetings, including setting ground rules, timekeeping, and using technology like AI for meeting summaries. They also discuss the impact of cultural differences on meetings and provide tips for managing diverse teams. The conversation concludes by emphasizing the link between great meetings and great teams, highlighting the role of meetings in fostering collaboration, building relationships, and achieving project goals. Sound Bites "Meetings are a fact of life, often complained about but also often tolerated.""Connection before context. Before you start right into the meeting, make sure you have a little bit of social interaction.""Goblins are personalities that come out during meetings, and it's up to the meeting facilitator to recognize and address them.""Great meetings aren't just about agendas and facilitation techniques; they're about showing that you care about the project and the team.""Rosie the Reticent is the quiet version of Nadia the Naysayer.""Decision latency is one of the biggest reasons for project failures, so it's crucial to have the right people at meetings.""Understanding national, regional, and organizational cultures is important for effective meetings."

    2024/05/03
    Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Scott Walker who spent 16 years as a Scotland Yard detective. Scott and Andy delve into lessons on emotional intelligence and negotiation skills gleaned from Scott's new book Order out of Chaos: Win Every Negotiation, Thrive in Adversity, and Become a World-Class Communicator. Key takeaways include seeking to understand before being understood, managing emotional states, and using empathy to build trust. Walker also discusses the importance of buying time and, interestingly, feeding egos in negotiations. It's an engaging discussion with one of the world's most experienced kidnap-for-ransom negotiators. Sound Bites "Negotiation is simply a conversation with a purpose.""Kidnappers are businessmen looking to get the right deal for them.""Feeding their ego doesn't mean flattering them. It's about acknowledging their needs and concerns, making them feel heard.""Success leaves clues.""We need to get out of our own way, suspend our own ego, seek to understand before being understood.""If you can visualize a negative outcome closely enough, you train your body and mind to get through it, reducing the power that fear can have over you.""More Sherlock Holmes than Gordon Gecko."
