Experience Sharing
ACTION: Took executive team meeting minutes in real time, posted them within 24 hours on club website.
BENEFIT: Meeting minutes are an effective way of communicating:
what happened what needs to happen (next actions)
to keep everyone on the same page

Experience Sharing
CAUTION: Meeting minutes are ineffective if they are not shared immediately!
WHY? You forget items.
Window of opportunity evaporates to take next actions.
21
Experience SharingREMEMBER:
They call them meeting MINUTES for a reason!
Issue them in minutes, not weeks!
Issue them quickly after the meeting for best results!
Record them in real time on your computer!
