Stop me if this sounds familiar…
You go into a meeting with the best intentions. There’s a clear agenda. You’ve got things you need to work through. But within minutes, the whole session has gone completely off the rails.
It might be that terrible moment of silence when you ask people if they have any ideas. Or the fact the same two people dominate the entire conversation, while others check their email.
Or that your carefully considered agenda goes out the window when someone brings up something irrelevant and distracting.
Whatever the specific reason, you often find yourself walking out of the meeting (probably an hour later than you wanted), with no clear decisions and a vague promise to "circle back."
Bad meetings aren't just frustrating. They're a massive drain on time, energy and money. They stall important projects and leave teams feeling disengaged and unheard.
