MANAGING A MEETING WITH LITTLE TIME We've got three items and forty minutes, so keeping the meeting on track matters more than covering everything perfectly. The person leading starts by naming the time limit out loud — it's a small thing, but it stops the first item eating the whole meeting. Then, instead of asking "any thoughts?", which usually gets silence, they ask specific people by name: "Marta, what's your take?" That single change gets three times more useful answers. When someone adds to a point rather than repeating it — "just to build on what you said" — the meeting moves forward instead of circling. Perguntas: 1. Why does the leader name the time limit out loud? 2. Why does asking people by name work better than "any thoughts?" 3. What does "building on" a point do for the meeting?
