Common misunderstandings
- Treating meeting attendance as agreement
- Treating silence as consent
- Agreeing on a goal while leaving scope, ownership, and timing unclear
Say it more clearly
- Please confirm these three items: goal, scope, and owner.
- These two disagreements still need a decision.
- Record the final decision and deadline before the meeting ends.
