About this listen
Half of all meetings are a waste of time. Here’s how to make sure your meetings aren’t!
According to a Clarizen/Harris Poll survey, the average American worker spends four and a half hours every week in general status meetings.
And that’s not counting other meetings you can get called for at various times of the day.
But just 11 percent of survey respondents said all of their meetings were productive. And with 67 percent of workers saying meetings are keeping them from doing their job, why do companies still keep having them?
The thing is, meetings are essential in any organization.
Collaboration, discussion, and interaction are the lifeblood of a company’s progress and innovation.
Unfortunately, meetings can hamper these collaborations when they’re poorly planned, badly run, and haphazardly organized.
With the guidance and advice of meeting management expert J.W. Dionne, you’ll find out exactly what you have to do.
In The Art of Meeting Management, you will discover:
- How to have engaging, productive, and worthwhile meetings with the six Ps of effective meetings.
- Five meetings that could have been an email–these situations don’t actually require a meeting.
- How to make meetings more inclusive, and get even the quietest and most introverted attendees to speak up.
- Useful skills you need to develop that will help you facilitate meetings so they run smoothly.
- The powerful psychological tool to apply in your meetings that will improve follow-through and promote compliance.
- Why it’s better to have two short meetings than a long one.
- Why you should encourage conflict during your meetings–and how to prevent it from getting out of hand.
- Fun ideas for virtual meeting openers that will get your attendees engaged and ready to go.
- And much more!
Meetings will never become obsolete.
They may take different forms and use different platforms, but the need to get together and collaborate will always be there.

If you’re interested in making money with stocks, you’re not alone. A recent Gallup poll showed that nearly 6 in 10 American adults have money in the stock market. But unless you’ve previously worked as an investment banker, you might have better odds of making money at the casino than with stocks. In fact, researchers from the University of California found that 90 percent of retail investors and day traders lose money. Which is why most people think winning in the stock market is simply a game of chance.

The cofounders of the Remote Leadership Institute, Kevin Eikenberry and Wayne Turmel, show leaders how to guide their teams by recalling the foundational principles of leadership.
