I’ve had a few meetings I start this way.
If there is dissension in the room and we’re discussing a key problem, I’ll throw out this statement – “Are we all on the same page?”
If we are not on the same page, there is no reason to move forward.
Everyone needs to be on the same page, to understand the problem, the reason that you are all here, before you start getting to solutions.
Otherwise, everyone is coming up with ideas that not everyone believes will solve the issue at hand.
On the same page, move forward, different pages, fall apart.
