6 Mistakes I Often Made in Meetings When I Was an Office Employee

My bitter story

How many meetings do you think a businessman will attend in his lifetime?

Especially in the planning department, I found myself attending multiple meetings every day and doing my work between meetings.

And although I learned a lot at the conference, I also made many mistakes. I think a big reason is that I was inexperienced as a businessman in the first place, so I don’t know how valuable my experience will be to someone else, but I thought I would write about some of my bitter failures.

1. Depending on the meeting you don’t fully commit to, there may be times when it doesn’t have much to do with you, or when you don’t feel like you can contribute to the agenda. Or the meeting itself feels like a waste of time.

At times like this, I would end up thinking about other things or writing something else in my open notebook, and I would stop following the flow of the meeting. And it’s only at those times that I get asked, “So, you’ve been quiet, but how are you doing?’’

It goes without saying that the person convening any meeting cannot believe that it is a waste, and that being called to a meeting means that they are expected to make some kind of contribution. If you don’t fully commit to the meeting, you’ll be wasting your time, and you’ll damage your reputation if you’re suddenly turned away.

If you think about it now, it may seem like a waste of time no matter how you look at it, but at worst, you should observe how the convenor handles such a wasteful meeting and try to simulate what it would be like to be in that position. I was able to do things like the fact that there was a time when he did not fully commit to the meeting he was called to was something he should reflect upon.

2. When I was feeling exhausted after a series of meetings with a sales department that didn’t recognize the role that was expected of me, a boss told me, “You’re always saying emotional things,” and it really hit me hard.

This series of meetings was intended to ask the sales department to make some improvements, and my role was to “point out areas for improvement.” However, another person was in charge of the main role, so when I couldn’t think of something like that, I would just say things like, “It’s tough,” and somehow get through the situation.

The problem was that I couldn’t point out problems in that series of meetings, but the worst part was that saying things like “That’s tough” was something my boss would say when he was bringing things together. it wasn’t something I should have said, and I didn’t realize my role.

3. I am highly reluctant to give critical opinions.

To begin with, I don’t have a critical spirit, and I think, “Everyone is doing their best. Rather than criticize, I would like to come up with something constructive, an idea that can help the situation.”

As a result, I made statements that were all about the attendees' feelings. A healthy, critical spirit and skepticism are the spices that make meetings fruitful.

4. This is the realistic conclusion that conference organizers are hoping for, hoping for a resolution that goes beyond the conference organizers’ intentions.

Before the meeting, there is a tacit agreement on where the discussion should start, and from there, an attempt is made to derive possible practical solutions.

However, in pursuing idealism, I went back in time and tried to state my “ideas” and suggested to those involved that blood be spilled in a way that exceeded the organizers' intentions. However, there is no way that the conference will come to a conclusion that deviates from the organizers' intentions. At times like these, I would feel angry that the conference organizer’s understanding was wrong, but of course, I was wrong.

5. There were times when I didn’t have time to attend a meeting because I was unprepared, but there were also many times when I couldn’t help.

I always wished I had done more research and prepared materials in advance. Of course, I couldn't even if I wanted to because I had so many meetings and work to do.

However, I should have been more focused and made more time to prepare for this important meeting. For example, since I know that I am not good at speaking, I should have practiced “out loud” for long or short but essential presentations.

When I was an office worker, I had never practiced beforehand for a presentation, and the first time I did so was when I was paid to give a lecture after becoming independent. As expected, it was a naive idea.

6. I thought I was a common-sense office worker who had bad manners at meetings, but now that I think about it, I think my manners at meetings were quite bad.

One day, my boss scolded me after a meeting and said, “I keep looking at my emails.” However, at that time, my other boss, who was supposed to attend the conference, arrived late, so I checked my email, thinking I might have received something.

However, this person had just recently been transferred and was apparently at a time when he was pretty nervous about the behavior of his subordinates at meetings. Cell phones may be out of the question, but meeting convenors and bosses are often more sensitive to each person’s behavior than other attendees.

There are things that people tend to do involuntarily, such as folding their arms, looking at their watches, and talking privately. Still, organizers often feel their authority has been compromised, so they must be more careful.
