Bob Proctor says to consider the agenda of your meeting tomorrow the night before.
Sorry, Bob, I say skip the meeting completely and stay focused on what needs to be done.
Meetings have two arguable goals. The first goal is to put off good work being done. The second is to hold people accountable for doing good work after the meeting. My thought is, wouldn’t you want to hire people who don’t need anyone to hold them accountable, who are self-accountable, self-motivated?
Here’s an interesting thought. Want to know what employees to keep around next quarter? Go a month without having a meeting and see who still gets everything they need done.
The only meeting worth having is the meeting of celebration.
