Inclusive meetings are ones that prioritize equitable participation, respect diverse perspectives, encourage active listening, and ensure that everyone feels valued and included.

Summary

KEY POINTS:
  • Inclusive meetings unlock diverse ideas, insights, and solutions for better results.
  • Exclusive meetings: the same few people dominate discussions, and there are frequent interruptions, wrong attendees, and little or no discussion.
  • Facilitators play a critical role in driving inclusive meetings and breaking the cycle.
