Tired of Unproductive Meetings? Me Too.
January 6th, 2009
If you’re at all like me, nothing can be as frustrating as sitting through a meeting that should have only taken about 20 min., but is still going after an hour. I really find that meetings can be one of the easiest places to waste time so I thought I should rant about this for a minute and then maybe suggest how meetings can be made more productive in my experience.
Things that drive me crazy about meetings:
- Person in charge of meeting isn’t prepared so I get to sit there while they make small talk to fill time.
- There is no agenda for the meeting so I don’t know what we are going to be talking about, nor does anyone else.
- When a meeting is scheduled for an hour in the first place when everyone knows it should only take 20 min.
