Four political parties and more than 20 people in a single meeting is a meeting in which the number of voices, apart from strategic intentions, is in danger of becoming a chaotic moment rather than an operative session that allows agreements to be reached.
Some of the ideas that Carmen Mellina, executive coach at the EEC as well as team coach and political coach, shared in the programme include the keys to organising a meeting of this magnitude, the recommended dynamics and the roles to be adopted by the participants. In Jake, from EITB.
As a context, it is a "It is a complicated one as the participants owe it to the electorate and also have to speak for the meeting but of course, "That is the art of politics, they have to be able to create something different" despite the difficulties.
"It is important that they agree on what they are going to agree on," he said. Carmen Mellina who was interviewed in Bilbao. And that, on which they have to agree, said the expert, "is the art of politics, to be able to create something different" despite the complication of the two-way conversation "the purpose of the meeting and what they are in politics for", she continued.
The basis for success for the EEC coach is to "establish a framework, rules, red lines and minimums" on which to start working.
From there, the expert recommended time management, the points to be taken into account, the essential points and also to establish turns, because "of course, everyone should speak," said Carmen Mellina.
