Sometimes team meetings can be a complete pain, especially when you have a lot of work to do and that daily catch-up meeting just gets in the way. One thing I have noticed in these meetings is that the quiet members of the team often have the most useful things to say, apprentices mainly. To give everyone a chance, one of the projects I was on made everyone give a useful fact, someone might talk about Oracle constraints or give a useful command they have used. It does not even have to be about work, just get staff talking. Takes seconds and a good confidence builder. Did you know the Honda Civic is named after "Compound Vortex Controlled Combustion" or Japan produced the world's biggest battleships - life does not have to be all IT. Put quick facts in your daily meetings, you never know it might be that one thing that gets you through a show stopper or wins you some money on "The Chase".
