Are you sure you are ready for hybrid meetings? - The Digital Workplace

Several good things to keep in mind as we all have many more hybrid meetings now. I found this note for leaders interesting.

If you are the leader, the single best thing you can do is log in from a distributed place. It solves most of the problems you might face:

• It makes it clear that it’s ok that others aren’t there.
• No one gets special access to you by cornering you after the meeting.
• You will learn what it’s like to experience being on the “outside” and make the changes.

I have certainly changed my thinking on bigger team meetings where we have over 100 people on. I think of it more like a realtime podcast, with production aspects, a green screen, and I look for digital ways to engage the audience. Stuff that I can’t do in other venues.
