Your meetings may be really ineffective.
You might think your meetings are valuable. You might engage in rich discussions. You might make connections with colleagues or clients.
But without clear actions and next steps, your meetings have little value.
A meeting without actions is like a journey without a map – you may be moving but you’re probably going around in circles.
So however long you’re meeting for, however much you have on the agenda, however heated the debate…
Spend the final 15% of your time together discussing action items.
And for each action… Who’ll do it? What’s the deadline date? Why does it need to happen? What are the implications of not doing it?
Do this at the end of every meeting. And watch the effectiveness of your meetings soar.
