Which One of These Things is not Like the Other?

Everyone Does Not Belong - Streamline Your Office Meetings

Remember this old song?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FClGhto1vIg

In my past meeting experience, meetings went very long because everyone in the department and the building went to "mandatory" meetings. As a matter of fact, many of the exec vp’s came also just to be 'informed.'

At the end of the meeting, out of 30 people only 3 people had action items.  Only one other person spoke up out of fear for the exec vp’s. 

The VP’s said nothing but nodded the entire time.

So, my view, only 4 people needed to be at that meeting.

When conducting a meeting; decide who should be there.  And NO, not everyone should be there.

Cut down on the number of attendees and you automatically cut down on the length of the meeting.  This also doesn’t steal valuable productivity from the people who don’t need to be there.

Which One of These Don’t Belong?

  • If the person does not have an action item at the end – they don’t need to be there.
  • If the person’s input in not needed to move the business forward – they don’t need to be there.
  • If the person cannot use the information in their daily function to move the business forward – they don’t need to be there.
