How To Run Effective Meetings

Do your meetings feel like time sinks?

It’s time to transform them with these 6 tips that top leaders swear by:

—

Not sure if you need a meeting?
➟ 2-Pizza Rule
 If two pizzas can’t feed the group, the meeting’s too big.

Too many meetings?
➟ Purpose-Outcome-Process (POP) Model
 Define why you’re meeting, what you want to achieve, and how you’ll do it.

Keeping meetings on track?
➟ Strict Agenda
 Share an agenda beforehand, and stick to it.

Want everyone to speak?
➟ Round Robin Technique
 Give everyone a voice by taking turns to share.

Need action steps?

Effective meetings save time and drive results. Knowing when NOT to meet is just as important.

As Phil Jackson said:
“The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.”
