It is a happy day when everyone on a committee does not feel compelled to echo previous remarks. What are some other times for which we should be grateful?
- When a person says, "In conclusion" and then promptly concludes.
- When someone notes an item of interest that is not on the agenda...and then does not attempt to pursue it.
- When everyone has done their homework and organized their thoughts.
- When reasonable compromise is possible.
- When people who have reservations about a course of action voice their concerns at the meeting and not afterwards.
- When the person chairing the meeting keeps people on track.
- When more than three options are considered.
- When people treat rapid agreement as cautiously as they do rapid disagreement.
- When you can tell that everyone's head is in the game.
One good thing that Mo Udall have able to do during his meeting is that he was able to describe the status of a committee by making a note from it. This is so ideal thing and it makes easier for the committee to understand what has been discussing during the meeting.
