What Is a Team Meeting? A team meeting is a scheduled event in which people involved in a project will get together and have a conversation about topics related to that work. Meetings come in many forms, but the more effective ones have an agenda created by the team leader that outlines what is to be discussed. A secretary captures the meeting minutes, which are a summary of the discussion.

Blaming people and telling them they’re being resistant to change isn’t going to close the gap and make that cognitive dissonance go away.
