Studies show that companies would benefit from having fewer and better meetings. So how can you turn your workplace gatherings from time-wasters to productivity boosters? In this episode, Anne and Frances are joined by Priya Parker—acclaimed speaker, facilitator, and best-selling author of The Art of Gathering—to unlock the true power of bringing people together. They brainstorm helpful tips for planning and facilitating great meetings, emphasize the importance of asking good questions, and explain why being “chill” is often detrimental to leadership.
