了解開會者的動機

無論我們期待會議要有效進行，但是會議通常並非如商業運作一般可以很符合邏輯來進行。如同一般的人際互動，會議通常充滿了非理性的動態。

每個人參與開會的動機都會不同。對於有些人來說，參加開會能夠顯示出他的權勢象征，所以即使他不能在會議中有積極貢獻，他還是每會必與。有些人則將參加開會當成是一種社交活動，或是能夠在會議中發表政治意見的機會。

無論會議通知上的會議議程寫的多清楚，每個人來開會的目的都會不一樣。有些人會非常重視，而有些人則總是姍姍來遲。有些人習慣讓別人主導會議，自己附和即可；而有些人總是習慣在會議中挑別人毛病來放炮，達到聚集他人注目的目的。

這些非意識的開會心態，會降低會議的品質，但是了解這些與會者的開會動機， 有助於你更佳掌握會議效果，達成你開會的目的。

Know the motives of the meeting attendants

No matter what we expect the meeting to be effective, the meeting is usually not as logical as business. Like general interpersonal interaction, meetings are often full of irrational dynamics.

Everyone has different motivations for attending meetings. For some people, attending a meeting can show a symbol of his power, so even if he can't make a positive contribution to the meeting, he will always be there. Some will attend meetings as a social event or a chance to make political statements at meetings.

No matter how clear the agenda of the meeting is, the purpose of each meeting attendant will be different. Some people value it very much, while others are always late. Some people are used to letting others lead the meeting, and they can go along with them. And some people are always used to picking others in the meeting to shoot, so as to collect the attention of others.

These unconscious meetings will reduce the quality of the meeting, but understanding the participants' meeting motivation will help you better grasp the effectiveness of the meeting and achieve the purpose of your meeting.
