Ask This Question at Your Next Meeting

Too often team meetings feel draining. But what if they accelerated the progress they often stifle? Managers can take a page from the startup world, where “mastermind meetings” are all the rage. Entrepreneurs routinely sign five-figure checks for the privilege of joining other founders and answering a single question — what are you stuck on? — before an audience of their peers. The benefits of asking this question include: reduced procrastination, stronger resilience, greater trust, less “coasting,” and more growth.
