The Meeting Trap
Are your meetings helping or hurting productivity?
Meeting Should Drive Results-Not Waste Time
How many meetings did you attend last week?
Now, how many of those meetings actually drove progress?
Meetings should be a tool for execution-not a placeholder for indecision. Yet, many leaders fall into the trap of:
Default meetings - recurring calls that no one questions
No clear agenda - conversations go in circles
No decision-making - forcing another follow-up meeting
Here's how to make meetings work for you:
Audit your recurring meetings. Cancel any that don't serve a clear purpose.
Use AI-driven summaries instead of spending hours on debriefs.
End every meeting with an action step. IF there's no decision, the meeting failed.
