Meeting Styles

Some people will like to contribute and get involved in the meeting. They are willing to listen and interact. Some people like to sit quitely and watch the show. They do not want to get involved as it may mean more responsibilites or may offend others. It is not my business. Some people may have split personalities. They will speak up when there are senior managers presented, while keep silent when no senior managers there. Some may join part of meeting that are related to them and some may choose to stay and participate throughtout the meeting. Some prefer to interact with PDA, mobile phones or personal notes and some may choost to stay alert throughout the meeting even though it's not my business. Some prefer to walk away immediately after the meeting and some will stay to follow up and want to make the next meeting better. Some prefer to dominate and lead the meeting while some prefer to follow passively.
