The 4 Meeting Rules Your Boss Should Follow Too

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
