“How to Lead Effective Team Meetings”
“Effective meetings are interesting, high-energy events where team members work together to make decisions or solve problems. Unfortunately, too many of the meetings we attend seem to be just the opposite. The worst meetings bring time to a crawl leaving everyone mentally and emotionally exhausted and more than a little bit frustrated. “

“How to Run a More Effective Meeting” by New York Times
“We’ve all been stuck in a bad meeting. You arrive on time only to have the meeting start 10 minutes late. The agenda? Unclear. The person in charge? Also. Some people start to offer ideas, others shoot them down. Nothing is really decided and the meeting wraps up, as you silently lament the lost hour. There is a better way. “

“How Do I Start and Host a Meeting?” by Mindtools
“There are good meetings and there are bad meetings. Bad meetings drone on forever, you never seem to get to the point, and you leave wondering why you were even present. Effective ones leave you energized and feeling that you’ve really accomplished something.”
“I have been spending a lot of time in meetings for several years now and it is not always a pleasure… Today, I discovered an interesting article on how to run a good meeting.
In fact, meetings are one of the main complaints of most organizations. The fact is that every manager and employee loses too much time, which results in lower productivity, but the worst thing is the credibility of the organization to manage its own teams. Participants in an inefficient meeting have great difficulty taking notes and writing minutes. The consequence is that they do not know how to manage priorities and tasks.”
