Maximize Your Meetings

Meetings, like death and taxes, are an inevitable fact of business life.
Many, unfortunately, turn out to be a huge waste of time. Some companies
schedule them so automatically that staff members’ energy is completely zapped,
replaced by apathy and boredom.

Meetings are used counterproductively in organizations as a device for diluting
authority, diffusing responsibility and delaying decisions. Referring a matter
to committee may satisfy those who are cautious and analytical, but it’s a
source of frustration for action-oriented risk takers.

Human beings are a social species, and meetings fulfill a deep need. In every
organization and culture, people come together in small groups at regular
intervals. Attachment to the organization increases when one participates in
teams and meetings. This need for gathering is clearly something more positive
than just a legacy from our primitive hunting ancestry.

So, what can you do to ensure your meetings are productive and useful—not just
socially satisfying?
