So you start drafting up the agenda with "keeping people up to date" items that happened over the summer and groan. This could very easily just be an email. You anticipate all of the blank faces and "That sounds great!" unengaged reactions. How do you foster discussion and participation so you make...
Monday Marketing Musings coming to you on Tuesday after Labor Day — praise God for the great gift it is to get to do this work for Hm! I know this week is likely crazy for you professionally and personally, so I'm going to make this quick: Have three minutes?
