Meetings don’t have to be time-wasters. These four simple rules keep discussions purposeful, productive, and fair—for managers and teams alike.
All organizations should have some meeting basic rules… for everyone’s benefit, including managers.
Rule #1: only run meetings when open ideas need to be discussed
Rule #2: a meeting is not a social event (social events are there for a reason)
Rule #3: your promotion should not depend on your meeting activity
Rule #4: take rules 1-3 seriously
