Seven do-or-die questions to run a great meeting
Why I thought I would never write this insight
I thought I would never write this insight.
Frankly, I still can’t believe that I do.
If there’s one thing I would expect that any team leader knows how to do well, it’s to run a meeting.
But unfortunately, running an effective meeting is in the top two of underdeveloped skills for leaders.
The number one underdeveloped skill is how to have a proper conversation with someone.
Both are strongly related; a team meeting is, in fact, nothing more than a conversation with more people involved.
I decided to write this insight because the problem is only getting bigger according to me. Consequently, the amount of time, and therefore money, wasted in meetings is exorbitantly high.
So high, that if you could put a money amount on it, every company would immediately review its meeting culture and invest in meetings skills.
But we don’t, because we’re supposed to know this basic stuff. And, because it’s hard to measure.
