How to fly

Flying, unlike planning meetings, is most often called the general meeting of the enterprise or its unit to summarize the current results and exchange existing comments on them. In some companies, this is the name of activities related to the planning of further work, or combining both a debriefing and further plans.

You will need

• - premises for conducting flyers or equipment for organizing a webinar;

• - the presence of most of the team (personal or computer);

• - a duty speaker (critic) or several of them, depending on the situation and the specifics of the company.

Depending on the specifics of the work, the main speaker on the fly may be an on-line critic reviewing all the results of the company’s activities for a given period. His responsibilities include studying the results of the work and making comments.

In this case, the head of the company and the unit gives him the floor.

When changing those responsible for the general front of work (for example, the institute of on-duty editors of the issue in the print media), the report is made by the one who carried this cargo in the period under review.

A different procedure for conducting a fly is also possible: everyone who is responsible for a particular site of work reports in turn, expressing their views on how much the work of those who were responsible for adjacent sites contributed to the realization of the common goal.

The order of discussion of speeches depends on the number of speakers. If there are several, it is usually best to devote some time to discussing the report after each.

Here, the head of an organization or unit depends on maintaining a constructive dialogue without switching to a person. If the conversation turns the wrong way, you can always intervene and use your power to put the discussion on the right track.

After discussing a report or reports, it is most often customary to give an opportunity to speak to anyone who sees fit. Often, such speeches make it possible to focus on important points, for one reason or another not mentioned in the reports and debates, or which were not given enough attention during the discussion.

In conclusion, the head of the organization or unit can summarize the discussion, state what it agrees with, what is not, which of the issues raised require discussion, voice the conclusions that, in his opinion, should be made based on the results of the conversation and, if necessary, his comments regarding the quality of reports, the level of discussion and other significant, in his opinion, moments, both general and particular.

Useful advice

Nowadays, it is not always necessary to collect the entire team in one room. An alternative could be, for example, holding a meeting on webinar technology involving voice and, if necessary, video communication.
