Episode 22 — Facilitate decisive meetings that resolve issues and move work forward
Meetings are often the place where security projects go to stall, and this episode provides the facilitation techniques needed to keep work moving forward. We explore how to manage a meeting's agendum and how to handle dominant voices that can derail a constructive technical discussion. We define facilitative leadership and explain its importance in reaching a consensus on difficult topics like risk acceptance or budget allocation. For the exam, knowing how to structure a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) meeting or a post-incident review is a vital skill. Best practices involve documenting decisions in a decision log and assigning clear action items with deadlines to ensure accountability after the meeting concludes. Troubleshooting a stagnant meeting involves identifying the decision impediments and using targeted questions to drive the group toward a definitive conclusion. Efficient facilitation ensures that the security team remains agile and responsive to the needs of the business.
