E-book Category: Business E-book Title: Meeting Success Kit Author: Adele Sommers, Ph.D. Book Description: Dear Colleague,
It's Friday afternoon, and you've been stuck in yet another meeting. Once again, it's gotten bogged down with annoying digressions. You've left the meeting feeling drained and irritated. You're wondering to yourself, "Does it really have to be this hard? Isn't there a simpler formula for making things work?"
Or, maybe you've heard these complaints about meetings - possibly even uttered some of them yourself about the ones you run or attend: - "They're a total waste of time."
- "Half the time, I don't even need to be there."
- "We never know ahead of time what they're going to cover."
- "Some people distract every meeting with their side conversations."
- "You listen to folks who make a point, then they dominate the meeting."
- "We never get the information we need to make a good decision."
- "All the decisions are made before the meeting even starts."
- "No one ever follows up to be sure anything gets done."
Sound familiar? Wouldn't you like to find a way to change all of that? Whether you run staff, team, or client meetings - or attend the meetings that other people hold - you'll find this information of interest!
Too Many Meetings Are a Wasteland of Unproductive Time!
I've worked professionally in many different fields and disciplines...but the one thing I have observed in nearly every environment is poorly run meetings. In earlier days, my colleagues and I used to hate going to meetings because they were so unplanned and chaotic!
You might be in a similar situation where meetings are called for no compelling reason. Or, you never hear about the meetings until just before they start. Afterward, you spend the rest of the day scrambling furiously to get back on track. Usually, no one bothers to send out an agenda or record meeting decisions for posterity.
And those are the "good parts"... the meetings themselves drive everyone nuts!
For example, some people yak incessantly on the sidelines, distracting everyone else. One or two folks may jump on a soapbox and dominate the discussion. The meeting topics bounce back and forth so many times that no one knows what's really being discussed.
And, if there's a big decision to make, you could end up witnessing a long, heated argument, or the highest-ranking person might just issue a decree. But most of the time, nothing at all gets decided...and it's simply a waste of time.
