135: How to Lead Meetings That Get Results (and That People Want to Attend) | with Karin Hurt

Horrible meetings are a cliché of the business world, and with good reason. Most meetings are a waste of time and don’t accomplish much, if anything. Everyone leaves frustrated that they could be doing something more productive with their time — and not only do your results suffer, so does your credibility as a leader.

Yet even though we all love to hate meetings, you cannot achieve results without bringing people together to make decisions and take action — whether in person, online, or on a conference call.

Karin Hurt returns to Engaging Leader, as she and Jesse discuss specific techniques to running meetings that are efficient, productive, and something people want to attend. Their conversation includes:

The reason for roughly 90% of the problems managers have with poor performance,

The importance of the 28-day rule,

The six reasons people hate meetings,

The two outcomes every meeting should accomplish, and  

The most important five minutes you’ll spend to make your meetings achieve results.
