Team O'clock’s Post

How to run an effective meeting (in 10 easy steps): 1. Decide whether or not to host the meeting 2. Set an agenda in advance 3. Review your guest list 4. Start and end on time 5. Manage the time in between 6. Take notes throughout 7. Save time for questions 8. Conclude with action items 9. Reevaluate the effectiveness 10. Follow up with an email summary And yet... So many companies I worked for would have team meetings or 1:1s throughout the week, missing several of the above steps. Sometimes, I couldn't help but wonder, "What was the point of this meeting." It slows everyone down from doing the work they need to do for their job. The best part? Most of the critical takeaways/updates from the meeting could have been shared with the entire team via email. Erasing the need for the meeting in the first place. Yes, my friends. I don't miss Corporate.

Walking Meetings Recently, I had an enlightening experience with a walking meeting. This wasn’t just a casual stroll; we were finalizing critical decisions. The person I was meeting with set a brisk pace, and I found myself not only keeping up with his steps but also with the rapid flow of ideas. It was invigorating how quickly and creatively we exchanged thoughts. This experience made me realize that productive discussions aren’t confined to the boardroom. Walking meetings can be a powerful way to stimulate fresh thinking and dynamic conversations. Have you ever tried a walking meeting?

Normalise longer meetings. One of the biggest reasons meeting suck, is there’s just not enough time to really focus on the challenge at hand. Longer meetings give you… 👉 More time to actually work during the meeting, not just chat. 👉 They mean you have less context switching throughout the day. 👉 And if you finish early, nobody minds getting time back. You don’t need fewer meetings, you need better meetings. So why not give longer sessions a try?
