    The meeting was opened with a moment of silence to reflect followed by the Serenity Prayer. This is intended to allow the meeting to begin with a unified intention by all members. The circle allows all members of the group to view each other directly and fosters a sense of equality, each member having the same value as the next. While the director is the official facilitator of the meeting, other senior members direct discussion that relate to their areas of responsibility. The hierarchy is established from the owner down to the newest staff member for purposes of chain of command and final decision making authority however, final decisions are not made until each member with information to share are given the opportunity to do so. An agenda is provided to each member of the group to allow for smooth transition between topics. Announcements of events, new residents, and other important points are shared at the beginning of the meeting. Explanations of these items are also shared for the benefit of new staff members and each is encouraged to ask questions to ensure all staff is fully informed. Any concerns are addressed in the moment and conversation was open and permitted each member to share in the discussion…

Humorist John Cleese (1993) used “Meetings, Bloody Meetings” as title of his educational (but humorous) videotape on the subject. DeWine (2001) wrote that meetings are “usually thought of as time wasters.” Scott Snair (2003) even wrote a book titled “Stop the meeting, I want to get off” to express his extreme hate about meaningless and terrible meetings and discuss managerial methods with no meetings.…
