Personality Trait – Organization

The third personality trait of great meeting leaders is Organization.  Meeting leaders set a tone for the meeting before a single attendee enters the meeting space. Basic actions, such as sending out a clear agenda with materials in advance of a meeting, demonstrate organization and competence.

A meeting leader that plans on the fly, scrambles to prepare materials, or has uncertainty about meeting participation sets a tone of disarray.

Organization involves simple tactics with high impact. Being an effective meeting leader requires a modest level of administrative work. Basic tasks, such as planning the agenda, making copies, and confirming attendance, must always be done well. Failing to perform these tasks can undermine the effectiveness of the meeting.
