Document Summary
Meetings are disliked because they feel like a waste of time: nothing gets done or everyone is bored out of their mind. They are mandatory for getting work done, increasing productivity, and profits. Need to know who is attending, what their interest is in the topics or issues being discussed: allow you to plan meeting effectively, facilitate for best results, and shorten time to highlight important points. Leave your ego at the door (do not force your opinion on others) Stickhandle (completing set of tasks or responsibilities neatly and quickly) Comfort (not appropriate for formal or moderately informal communication) Parking lot (putting off to a more appropriate time) If introducing information from another source, make sure to mention it. Have a clear purpose and scope (theme, project, tasks etc. ) Meeting should not be held if the individuals can get the work done on their own. Instead connect by email or a brief conference call.
