Which means there is still time to sign up, start snapping, experiment and most importantly, understand how it’s being used by your employee population, unions and in employee engagement and recruiting.

If it was a meeting that mattered – an experience you want to have again – then it included a meaningful conversation. As the meeting wound up you were incredibly energized and ready to do something important, and/or you were disappointed it was over. As I think back on memorable meetings I’ve been part of, it seems clear that the participants were speaking openly and honestly, and with respect for each other’s experiences and intentions. MORE

I’ve said it many times: meetings are the very heart of the future of work. Meetings are the way knowledge workers learn, communicate, problem-solve, create, share ideas, influence others, and inspire. We sort out the wheat from the chaff, we develop new ideas, and we build consensus in meetings. But how effective are the meetings you participate in, or lead? Almost everyone I talk to complains about the meetings they attend. MORE

Your day starts at 8:30 a.m. with a staff meeting, followed by a managers meeting at 10 a.m. Then there’s the monthly production meeting at 1:30 p.m. and a brainstorming session at 3 p.m. time to get down to business. Meetings take a lot of time and energy, sometimes leaving little left for the work at hand. The fact is that unproductive meetings are a huge drain on your time , your people and your company’s bottom line. MORE

I’ve been studying and writing about organizational meetings for years.

Most of us today spend more time in meetings with people who are somewhere else than we do with our colleagues down the hall. And while most of the “rules” for leading face-to-face meetings also apply equally well to distributed meetings, the situation is clearly different.

What is it worth to make your meetings both more efficient and more effective? As I have been suggesting for the past several weeks, meetings can be improved in many different ways, both by reducing their costs (fewer meetings, shorter meetings, fewer participants, smaller conference rooms, and relying more on virtual meetings), and by improving their outcomes (crisper decisions, more explicit commitments to action, more active follow-up and feedback).

At first, I totally agreed. Especially when you hear statistics like the ones from the WorkHuman Research Institute that found 21 percent of respondents have never been recognized at work and 33 percent haven’t been recognized in 6 months. But if employees actually received recognition – I mean timely, specific recognition in a way that was meaningful – could it ever be too much? At that point, doesn’t it come down to what employees are being recognized for? MORE

There are only three types of meetings : informational meetings, problem solving meetings, and feedback meetings.

One of the most effective types of informational meetings is the standup meeting. MORE

While this system of attendance tracking was effective, it is hardly the most efficient use of class time. In fact, in an hour long class, the process of calling the names of 25-40 students could easily take up to 5 percent of the total class time. In university and college settings, where the number of students can easily be over 100, most professors are simply forced to abandon attendance tracking due to time concerns.

The first step in making your meetings and other conversations matter is to be more intentional about them. However, because every one of us engages in work-related conversations of all kinds every day, it is highly unrealistic to suggest that you spend time thinking through every conversation before it takes place. So let’s focus on formal meetings. Every meeting you set up and hold consumes scarce corporate resources – time and money. MORE

Employees often get very nervous when asked to a private meeting with human resources or their supervisor. Can you have someone sit in on a meeting between you and your supervisor?

There’s good reason most employees and leaders celebrate meeting-free afternoons. Too frequently, meetings lack adequate preparation, which results in a bad use of valuable time.

Challenge yourself to extract at least one meaningful learn, win, or risk avoidance in every meeting. It takes a lot of time to learn a company’s culture.

One of the words I’m starting to hear at conferences and in business conversations is “intentional.” I found a great example of “intentional” decision making at Southwest Airlines.

At that point, doesn’t it come down to what employees are being recognized for?

Challenge yourself to extract at least one meaningful learn, win, or risk avoidance in every meeting. It takes a lot of time to learn a company’s culture. It’s not unusual to have a kick off meeting with 50 people in attendance. Six months later you’re still plodding away on weekly calls that maybe three people attend. The kid who went to the basement alone, even though you screamed at the TV, gets eaten by the monster.
