It feels like everyone could use just a little moreā¦time. More time to do the work (and not justĀ talkĀ about the work). More time to think. More time to pause, reflect, and improve. More timeĀ withoutĀ meetings. We canāt go on like this day in and day out ā can we?
In my
latest article, me and my colleague Ali Randel talk about 9 causes of meeting overload and what to do about it:
- Meetings never lead to clear decisions and next steps
- Our meeting routine is non-existent
- It isnāt clear who has the authority to make decisions
- The priorities are murky
- We have meetings that could have been emails
- Thereās no protected time in your schedule
- Youāre holding too many roles
- The fear of missing out is too great
- Weāre still having meetings we no longer need
