Make your meetings more productive

October 29, 2009 # 11:00 AM # Productivity # No Comment

Meetings can be a time sinkhole and a major productivity killer. There’s always the risk that the agenda suffers from a lack of planning, people get off track, and “that guy” in the office who loves to hear himself talk will cause the meeting to drag on longer than anyone would like.

Time to make meetings more productive with a great tip: conduct your meetings standing up.

This is one of many great tips from Gina Trapani, and her article points out that meeting length will be cut dramatically as no one enjoy standing for long periods of time. Participants will be motivated to be succinct and productive with their discussions, eliminating any unnecessary or off-topic conversation.

What are some other ways that you keep people on track during meetings? Do you have any other good tips on how to make meetings more productive?
