Under-prepared Meetings - Bert Hubert's writings
a day ago
- Meetings remain a common but costly practice, often exceeding €1000 for a ten-person meeting.
- Poorly prepared meetings waste time by requiring attendees to catch up on context, leading to underinformed decisions.
- Sending a detailed agenda in advance saves time, improves decision quality, and allows better attendee selection.
- Writing an agenda itself clarifies the problem, akin to 'Rubber Duck Debugging'.
- Post-meeting notes should be shared with absentees who might contribute insights.
