Common Meeting Frustrations

• Meetings Starting and Ending Late – LOOK AROUND AND CONSIDER THE TIME AND…..MONEY BEING WASTED!
• People Not Attending or Not Prepared
• Feeling Like You are Wasting Time
• Unclear Objective ~ Why Am I Here?
• Including Unnecessary People in the Meeting – HIGH JACK MTG, IRRELEVANT OR NOT FACT BASED OPINIONS
• Dealing with Power Struggles and Undefined Roles
• Texting/Emailing During Meetings!
• Sidebar Conversations – OR BACKHALL AFTER THE FACT
• No Follow Through / No Progress

INSTEAD

 

•  
• The Meeting Must have at Least 1 Goal
• A Real Goal – sharing info, discussing, deciding, sharing ideas? –quick updates among team members or departments Not just someone said we should have meetings

• A Meeting Must have the Key Players – if you need to make decisions but decision makers aren’t available – don’t have the meeting

• A Series of Meetings Must Create Progress
• Real Progress – if you decide in the meeting assign next steps – what will happen before the next meeting and who is accountable
