Why is this important to me?
I still hear smart individuals say things like this: “There are so many meetings. If everyone is in these meetings all the time, who’s doing the work?” The answer lies upstream. It lies in the preparation.
As we navigate the complexities of workplace efficiency, one aspect often stands out in its paradoxical nature: the preparation for meetings. It's a universal experience — the more we prepare, the more we feel in control, the shorter the meeting needs to be. Yet, this preparation can sometimes overshadow the meetings themselves in time and effort.
Consider the startling statistics: 47% of employees view meetings as the top time-waster, and on average, 31 hours are lost each month in unproductive meetings. There's some hyperbole in these numbers, but aren't they enough to prompt us to try something different?
Now, wouldn't it be awesome if everyone showed up to a meeting with a 1-pager outlining their ideas on the meeting topic? And they didn't spend all morning creating it...
