ABSTRACT

The management meeting is where all members of the team gather to create added value for the organization and for the individual team members. The meeting is commonly used for bringing up different issues for information, discussion, and decision. This does not mean that the issue owner needs to suggest a specific decision that he or she wants the team to make. Setting a clear meeting goal often involves suggesting how the team should work to reach the goal. Setting a clear meeting goal includes stating why the management team should spend time on the issue. Communicating clearly why an issue is to be handled at the management meeting is not necessarily something that must be done for every single issue, but it is especially important for issues that might be understood as being relevant to only a few members.
