Effective meetings

We spend an enormous amount of time in meetings. As a non-manager, about 30%. As a manager, around 50-80%. The problem is that many meetings are bad. They lack a clear goal. They seem pointless. They have no clear structure, and they are not very involving. Still, we need to meet. We produce thoughts, ideas, knowledge, and strategies in meetings. We cooperate and coordinate. So, let’s do them well!
