How many times have you heard, “we have too many meetings”? How much thought have you given to that statement?

Let me ask you this if the meetings were both personally and professionally meaningful to you, and they were productive would you say the same thing? Probably not.

Then there is the 1:1 meeting. Sadly, when we think about those meetings since they happen typically so infrequently, we often dread them. Because when we are asked to come into the office for a 1:1 it is not usually good news.

What if we changed all that? What if we did more frequent 1:1s that actually were planned. That could be fulfilling, life changing, business changing, and would improve both the employee and the employer?

Well, that is exactly what we are going to dig into on this episode of A New Direction with Organizational Psychologist and Meeting Expert Dr. Steven Rogelberg and his latest book “Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings”.

Steven Rogelberg’s book, “Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings” is by far one of the best books on how to have successful 1:1 meetings.

This book is for mangers and their direct reports, owners and their employees, C-suite professionals and their employees, consultants, coaches, and anyone else who is trying to improve.

The science behind “Glad We Met” is thorough and puts teeth behind many of the thoughts, words, and phrases we use everyday when it comes to creating meetings that have meaning and move the needle when it comes the people we work with.

The book is not a dry read.  In fact Steven Rogelberg makes “Glad We Met” and enjoyable read with his wit and humor.

The bonus of this book is that Steven provides questions, assessments, and guides to help you make you 1:1 meetings the best that they can be.

Please note that ALL proceeds from “Glad We Met” go to cancer research in support of Steven’s sister-in-law.  I personally believe it is a must read!

The post The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings That Build Productivity and Success appeared first on Jay Izso.

CEO’s, Owners, Managers, if you think your meetings are awesome you are in DENIAL (Don’t Even kNOw I Am Lying).  The truth is they are tedious, unproductive, and boring.  Most of the people would rather poke themselves in the eye with a fork and go to the hospital than sit in your meetings.  Why?  Because there is no purpose behind most meetings.  They are a waste.  Secondly you demand people to attend who have nothing to do with accomplishing anything, so you are wasting their time.  The fact is you could have sent them a synopsis rather than have them come.  And let’s be honest we are all lying to ourselves that by having meetings we are creating a team.   Thankfully Dr. Rick Brinkman is on this episode of A New Direction to help us get meetings right or possibly not have them at all!  Yes that is exactly what I said…no meetings!

Dr. Brinkman’s book entitled “Dealing with Meetings You Can’t Stand”  is a fabulous insightful look at meetings and why they don’t work and why people hate them.  He then helps clean them up by thinking about them as flying a plane and all the crew members involved.  From the pilot who runs the meeting, to the traffic controllers who make sure the meeting is moving and on point, to the flight recorder who makes certain we are clear on what we met about.  “Dealing with Meetings You Can’t Stand” also deals with the types of people you inevitably will deal with in a meeting, like the “tank”, the “know-it-all”, the “think-they-know-it-all”, the “grenade” and others.   The book is insightful and fun, you will both laugh and start changing your meetings.
