Ms. Lee points out when speaking to groups on her RARA meeting management approach, that roles are important to a meeting’s productivity.   Most audiences believe that the most important role in a meeting is that of the facilitator or group leader.  However, Shirley points out to her audiences that “Meeting attendees are the ones who provide the most beneficial input, decision-making, ideas, and problem-solving during meeting discussions.  So it is very important to make sure the right people are being invited to meetings.”  Although the facilitator or leader is important to guiding the meeting process and keeping it on track, the attendees or team members are the main key to meeting success.  She also points out the role of recorder or minute-taker is also a valuable resource for the group and the success of meetings.  Other roles are mentioned in her book and on the audio podcast, but she emphasizes these three.  Find out more about Shirley Fine Lee, as well as her services and to read her blog, go to her website at http://www.shirleyfinelee.com.
