The purpose of this part of the meeting is to get information flowing in your direction so that you can learn from your crew and start to see the operation from their point of view. When you have a consensus, seriously consider what you have learned. See if you can take some action based on their ideas because when people see something actually happening because of their input, they will gain hope and tell you even more. This is not management by committee - the final responsibility for action always rests with management. It is, however, an honest acknowledgement that collectively we can usually make better decisions than one person acting alone.
Every gathering is an opportunity to enhance skills.
Particularly in the beginning, I suggest you shorten the time allocated to training by the time that the staff comments segment runs long. It is probably more important that you learn from the crew than that they learn from you. Once they have confidence that there is a forum where their ideas will be heard and considered, your staff will be ready to receive new information. Use this part of the meeting to discuss a single point you want the staff to focus on for that shift, to impart some product knowledge, to share professional tips or to amplify or supplement material from your regular training program. Again, your own focus is important.
