Love it!
That is the definition of efficient meeting, knows their job, can make decisions, and has the company goals in mind instead of their own goals. .
I was asked to do a performance review on a non direct report.
I performed the evaluation, and then to "normalize" a baseline for my evaluation, the survey asked me to rank certain items important to me. .
I ranked "execution" and team work as my number one and two criteria for success. .
too many people think that team work means meetings and that the whole team has be involved, but that is not always the case, as each person just has to perform their team assigned job properly, and the larger the meeting is to get agreement for a solution, the harder it is to get agreement and execute without strong leadership.
