Effective Meetings

In work days filled up by highly demanding, multitasked schedules, meetings often feel like a drain on valuable time, yet they keep multiplying. It surely makes sense to manage meeting so that each one pays back more than it costs. How to do ensure that this happens?

One of the most thorough and promising answers to that question has been provided by Patrick Lencioni in his 2004 business fable, Death by Meeting: A Leadership Fable. According to Lencioni, bad meetings are “the most painful yet underestimated problem of modern business.” He distills the badness of meetings down to two main problems: meetings are tedious, unengaging, and dry; and the time spent together by the top executives is used ineffectively. An overview of Lencioni’s cure for these bad meetings is offered in this ManyWorlds summary.
