ADVICE

Demand Better Meetings

  • Demand better meetings by setting clear expectations.
  • Require attendees to do pre-work and identify sticking points.
  • Ask for specific help and relevant information upfront, like a two-page memo.
  • Use meetings for laser-focused discussions and decisions, not as catch-up sessions.
  • This reduces meeting time and frequency, promoting more efficient work.
