Discover the Beach Ball model to optimize participation.
Imagine a beach ball, with each stripe a different color. At your next meeting, place each person on your team—from payroll to marketing to IT—on a separate color of that imaginary beach ball. Each person owns a stripe, and each stripe is a piece of the larger truth you’re trying to reach. When it’s time to weigh an important decision or deploy a new initiative, each team member – one at time – contributes their piece of the solution.
This is a proven and effective technique for soliciting a full range of perspectives and input.
Plus, when everyone knows that they’ll get their turn to speak, it undercuts the tension and unspoken assumptions in the meeting room.
