How to Have Better Meetings
by Gary Lockwood
How do business people spend about 17 hours each week? You
guessed it; in meetings. Sales meetings, project meetings, staff
meetings, quality meetings and so on.
Our modern workplace now demands that people, teams, and
sometimes different organizations pull together to obtain the
desired results. Complexity of problems and opportunities require
the collective input of various sources and backgrounds to find
unique and highly effective solutions.
When people work together, one inevitable event occurs that causes
a collective groan. The "Meeting" is the worst, least popular
time
waster of them all. What's with this aversion to meetings? Just
what is a meeting? Are they necessary? If necessary, how can we
improve their effectiveness?
To make your meetings more productive and effective, incorporate
the following four phases into the plan for each meeting:
1) Determine a clear focus and be action oriented -- what do you
want to accomplish?
2) Make sure that all necessary resources are available including
advance information, the proper people, and adequate facilities.
3) Stay focused during the meeting by following your timetable, and
accurately record all decisions and follow-up actions.
4) Evaluate the process -- have the group discuss and identify good
and bad aspects before they leave the meeting.
Statistics: Meetings are necessary -- but poorly run meetings are
a terrible waste of time. A recent survey of American business
people provided us with this statistic: people spend an average
of 17 hours each week in meetings. This is not necessarily an
excessive amount, but respondents said that 5 of these 17 hours
were wasted time. this is an average of one hour each day wasted!
Poorly run meetings are one of our biggest time wasters, so make
sure your meetings are focused on your agenda.
Meeting Maddeners: Most frequently mentioned problems include:
1) late starts;
2) run too long;
3) lack of focus for the meeting;
4) straying off the subject;
5) inviting the wrong people to the meeting; and
6) lack of closure or clear decisions.
Solve these problems and you will have better meetings
in half the time!

QUOTES To Get You Thinking
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Lord, make my words soft and tender for tomorrow I may have
to eat them.
Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has courage
to lose sight of the shore.
Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds
to be. (Abraham Lincoln)
Real generosity is doing something nice for someone who will
never find out.
Sing like you know the words; dance like no one's watching;
and love like it's never going to hurt.
Some people grumble because roses have thorns.
Be thankful instead that thorns have roses.

Stop by our website every day to see the Business Cartoon
of the Day by Ted Goff. http://www.bizsuccess.com/cartoon.htm
------------
Thought you might enjoy this -
1. In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames
by ropes when you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened,
making the bed firmer to sleep on. That's where the phrase,
"goodnight, sleep tight" came from.
2. The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy
dog."
uses every letter in the alphabet. (developed by Western Union
to test telex/twx communications)
3. The only 15 letter word that can be spelled without
repeating
a letter is uncopyrightable.
4. When opossums are playing 'possum, they are not
"playing."
They actually pass out from sheer terror.
5. The Main Library at Indiana University sinks over an inch
every
year because when it was built, engineers failed to take into
account
the weight of all the books that would occupy the building.
6. The term "the whole 9 yards" came from W.W.II
fighter pilots in
the Pacific. When arming their airplanes on the ground, the .50
caliber machine gun ammo belts measured exactly 27 feet, before
being loaded into the fuselage. If the pilots fired all their ammo
at
a target, it got "the whole 9 yards."
7. The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an
old English law
which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider
than your thumb.
8. When Heinz ketchup leaves the bottle, it travels at a rate
of
25 miles per year.
9. The name Jeep came from the abbreviation used in the army
for the "General Purpose" vehicle, GP.
10. On average, 100 people choke to death on ball-point pens
every year.
