Are You the Smartest Person in the Room?

When you are the leader of a team, engagement and the involvement of others is a critical factor in the success of the meeting. If you leave a meeting feeling like you were the smartest person in the room, i.e. made the best suggestions or most relevant contributions, then it was not your best meeting. As leader, your job is to engage others and encourage someone else to be the smartest one in the room. The ideal meeting is when this role is shared by a few team members. When we encourage the candles of others to burn more brightly, we are all illuminated.
