PM Insight-Fremont Virtual Meeting: Weighing the Cost of Intervention
PM Insight-Fremont Virtual Meeting:
Weighing the Cost of Intervention
Speaking up always incurs a price. Is the benefit worth it? Too many people let their anxiety and discomfort sabotage the productivity of whole teams. But there is a better way to intervene - with purpose, empathy, and awareness. This talk shows you when to intervene, what it really costs, and how to minimize the costs. You can carefully assess when to keep silent and when and how best to step in when it truly matters most.
Takeaways:
1. Recognize and categorize the costs of intervention
2. Identify sound and unsound reasons for intervention in teamwork or meetings
3. Minimize the tradeoffs of stepping in once the decision is made
