Things that create meeting misery:
- No metrics or processes to measure meeting effectiveness and improve proficiency.
- Discussing the same items each week but never taking or tracking actions to correct the problem.
- Multiple meetings covering the same issues
- Attendees not engaged, instead using their phones, tablets or laptops during the meeting.
- Sidebar conversations not relevant to the current meeting or two or three people monopolizing the conversation.
- Too many people invited, not the right people at the meeting.
- No business focus, lack of outcomes
The amount of time wasted in meetings is well documented but organizations do little to improve meetings or eliminate non value added meetings.
