Pop Meeting – Do you ever wonder if anyone who works for you really knows what’s going on? Some people actually know the details while some people only know the talking points. The latter group prep in advance so they can “get by” but they always have to get back to you with the details. In school, to make sure that kids were doing their homework, teachers would have a pop quiz. This is one that you didn’t know was coming so you couldn’t cram for it. So why not have “pop meetings” at work. Call a pop meeting and inquire about a specific issue, problem, customer, etc. By doing this, you might find out which people are connected, have the inside track, or are just more diligent in finding out what’s going on. It might be surprising to find out who really knows what.
