How to take meeting notes
- Novelty. We don’t repeat things at meetings because we know the person already knows them.
- Relevance. We talk about things & ideas that are interesting to both parties; we understand this by tracking hundreds of signals from their face, body language, and words in real time. On Facebook, the only feedback channel is likes; I don’t see their “meh” faces when they’re reading my stuff and can’t understand what kind of reaction my ideas trigger.
- Quality. The quality of information shared during the meeting is higher than in one-to-many publishing on Facebook.
- Personalization. Sharing ideas with people I know loosely and adding a personal touch (i.e., “hey I thought this would be interesting to you because..”) increases the probability of a note to be read, which, in turn, increases the likelihood of the learning process hierarchy to be completed, changes in the long-term memory created, and transfer to real life occurred.
- Channels. More and more people stop using socials for content discovery because of ads/low-quality information. This change suggests there’s an opportunity for a new, more personal channel.
How to Be the VIP of Your Product Management Career
Takeaway: Increase your visibility. Let your stakeholders know the “why”, behind your product decisions. Find out where your message is getting lost with your team, and correct that situation.
Takeaway: Use all the tools at your disposal to make and maintain meaningful relationships in your company. Learn to be an empathetic leader who helps others succeed. And strive to create a collaborative experience on virtual sessions like Zoom.
