There are a few small but fundamental ways you can make meaningful changes in your workplace to enhance the dynamics. Keep reading to learn more.
Embrace the Power of AI
Since artificial intelligence is here to stay, you should embrace its ability and make it work for you. With the abundance of practical AI applications available, there is one thing you may not have considered – incorporating AI into your meetings as a note-taking functionality.
When it comes to actual human beings sitting in a meeting, their minds tend to wander, they miss something due to the number of people discussing a topic at once, or the conversation moves too fast for them to stay on top of it all. That is not the case with AI. Try the only FREE AI notetaker – get unlimited meeting notes for free and watch your productivity soar through the use of timely, concise, and efficient after-action notes from all of your meetings. Now everyone will be fully attentive in your meetings since no one person, only AI, will be in charge of taking notes.
Make It an Email
If your team groans audibly after yet another meeting, it is time to rethink your approach to how you handle information dissemination and collaboration. Sometimes, enough is enough, and more than often that is the case with meetings.
Make a change to the constant barrage of scheduled meetings by encouraging your team to try something new.
- Decide if something is emergent and must be handled or discussed immediately. If so, then a phone call, Slack message, or email is probably the appropriate course of action.
- Ask whether or not the content at hand should be talked through at a meeting. Can it be combined with other topics to eliminate even more meetings from the schedule?
- If there are far too many meetings on the calendar, set one day per week as the designated meeting day. Request your team to add items to the meeting agenda in advance so everyone is on the same page.

Forego Micromanagement
You are already busy enough as is. You do not need to do your employees’ jobs for them. You have your own to attend to and a company to run. Flip the script on how you do business and back away from micromanaging your team. After all, you hired them because you had confidence in their background, experiences, and abilities.
Show your team that you trust in them by letting them do their respective jobs. Discuss requirements, projects, and timelines, of course, and then send them on their way to do what you hired them for. Create strategic check-in discussions or meetings and place them on the company calendar. This way, autonomy is given. When people feel trusted at work, they tend to work better and have more pride in their outcomes.
Use these tips to help you improve your company’s Workplace Dynamics and how you do business overall. When you make positive and proactive changes, such as using artificial intelligence to your advantage, you will have more time to grow your business.
