What's your biggest work pet peeve? For me, it's the meeting that feels like a complete waste of time. The all-too-familiar meeting mishaps: ● Key players MIA or zoning out ● Could’ve been an email, but here we are . . . ● Pointless chit-chat and venting sessions ● Long-winded or conversation hogs ● Hostile vibes making it scary to speak up or share ideas ● Multitasking madness—everyone’s half-present ● Talking in circles with no clear solution ● Déjà vu issues—same problems, different day ● Everyone leaves clueless about next steps ● Follow-up? What follow-up? If that list gave you anxiety 😅 . . . . I’m with you! Thankfully, these issues can be fixed with a few simple steps: 1. PRE-MEETING: Make sure everyone knows the meeting's purpose and how they can contribute. 2. STAY ON TRACK: Appoint a rockstar facilitator to keep the discussion focused and ensure everyone gets a chance to chime in. 3. SOLVE ISSUES: After discussing an issue, shift to finding solutions, document next steps, and decide on any necessary outward communication. 4. WRAP UP INTENTIONALLY: Recap action items and gather feedback on the meeting to improve it even more next time. 5. POST-MEETING: Ensure action items are tracked and progress is communicated to keep everyone accountable. With these tips, your meetings will be more productive and a lot less cringeworthy!
