Meetings which will improve your results

Get in the habit of ending your meeting 10 minutes early. Instead of taking the full hour, create and facilitate an agenda that allows you to complete your goals in 50 minutes. This gives people time to hang around to ask questions and gain clarity, when needed. It also is a nice surprise that helps ensure participants are on-time – and focused for their next meeting. It’s a gift we can give each other. More meetings definitely could be completed in 45-50 minutes rather than an hour.

Thanks to collaborative technology and our 24-hour connectivity as a culture, we’re definitely attending more meetings. I know I am. We have an opportunity to be more strategic when conducting meetings so we actually do realize the productivity gains.
