Why do so many people HATE business meetings?
In talking to thousands of entrepreneurial leaders over the last 20 years, I've heard words and phrases like "endless, pointless, exhausting, inefficient, unproductive, etc." In short, most meetings are a frustrating waste of valuable time.
In a recent EOS® Quarterly Meeting, the leadership team was proud to report that they had completed each of the ten Rocks (key priorities) that they had committed to getting done. They had gotten close in previous quarters, always exceeding the goal of 80% completion but this was their first “100% quarter”. In fact, I’ve conducted hundreds of sessions with leadership teams over the years and none has ever completed all their Rocks. So, I asked the Integrator and his team, “What did you do differently this quarter to complete all your Rocks?”
Anger management is a “hot” topic today because people often get angry and don’t know how to express and vent their anger in a healthy way. If you have been in a business meeting where someone has “blown up” or “shut down”, you know what I mean. It’s very uncomfortable when it happens and leaves most of us pretty unclear as to what to do next.
If you have a visionary/integrator relationship, or you own or run a business along with one or more partners or co-owners – watch this three-minute video.
In their periodic leadership meetings does your leadership team spend endless amounts of time discussing issues? Never seeming to reach a conclusion or make a decision?
