The Hamster Revolution for Meetings Lib/E Mike Song

Meetings have changed. They're more frequent, virtual, and informal. Yet, most professionals haven't upgraded their meeting skills. It's no wonder that 43% of meeting time is wasted, due to: 1. Meeting overload: Professionals waste twenty-four days a year in useless meetings. 2. Missing success ingredients: Ninety percent of all professionals attend meetings that lack a clearly stated objective and agenda. 3. Virtual-meeting chaos: Disinterested participants + endless technical glitches= huge amounts of wasted time. 4. Agenda adrift: Goals are missed when meetings veer off course. 5. Action distraction: Incomplete action items result in delayed projects and missed deadlines. Good news- Help is on the way!
