There’s one thing your team agrees on. They all hate meetings!
Meetings are often seen as a waste of time. Problems get brought up, but they don’t get resolved. You’re just recycling the same garbage from last week!
There’s nothing inherently wrong with meetings. It all comes down to using that time wisely. To turn your meetings around, you need an agenda.
A meeting agenda respects people’s time by helping you stay on task. Before the meeting starts, decide what you’ll discuss, and how long you’ll discuss each item. This helps your team maximize their time together. And before the meeting ends, decide who will do what between now and the next get-together.
If you want people to attend meetings, you have to create an agenda. Repeat after me: no agenda, no attenda!
Your meetings have issues…and we’re here to fix them! Jenni Poulos, one of our amazing coaches at ACT, dives deeper into the formula that will make your meetings more productive. Get the formula here!
