Leading Productive Meetings

The seven Deadly Sins of Meeting

1. People don’t take meeting seriously.
2. Meetings are too long
3. People wander off the topic.
4. Nothing happens once the meeting ends.
5. People don’t tell truth
6. Meetings are always missing important information, so they postpone critical decisions.
7. Meeting never get better.
This chapter tells us avoid these seven deadly sins. I learnt to plan and conductive meetings by determining when a meeting is the best forum for achieving the required result; establish objectives, outcomes, and agenda; performing essential planning; clarifying roles and establishing ground rules; using common problem- solving techniques; managing meeting problems; and ensuring following- up occurs.

Meeting can be small or large, internal or external, frequent or infrequent. This chapter focuses primarily on small-group meeting intended to accomplish tasks or move actions forward inside an organization since these are the most prevalent types of professional meetings.
