Today's guest, Elise Keith is the co-Founder of Lucid Meetings, which helps organizations run day-to-day meetings to power their organizational success. Elise and I discuss the 'bad meeting doom loop', different types of meetings and how to string together a series to optimize how the team collaborates, and the most important thing to do when planning a meeting.\r\n \r\nKey Takeaways:\r\n\r\nStop the bad meetings doom loop in which we expect meetings to be a waste of time so we don't prepare for them properly which leads them to being unproductive which reinforces our belief that meetings are a waste of time.\r\nTry this mindset instead: Meetings are a place where people come together to get work done.\r\nThe word meeting is loaded. Try reframing your meetings by calling them something else like a weekly huddle or team crush.\r\nKeith identifies 16 types of meetings which she discusses in depth in her book.\r\nSeparate meetings by their work purpose. Rather than compound meeting types, create a sequence of meetings that work together.\r\nIn general, the more frequently you meet, the shorter the meetings can be and they are likely to be more productive. In contrast, the less frequent you meet, the longer the meetings need to be, and the less productive they typically are. \r\n\r\n \r\nRead the article based on this episode: Effective Meetings = Effective Business\r\n \r\nJoin the Modern Manager community for additional resources to support your learning journey.\r\n \r\nSubscribe to my newsletter to get episodes, articles and mini-guides delivered to your inbox.\r\n \r\nGet my book, Momentum: Creating Effective, Engaging, and Enjoyable Meetings at: www.meeteor.com/momentum\r\n \r\nKEEP UP WITH ELISE\r\nWhere the Action Is: https://www.lucidmeetings.com/book\r\nWebsite: www.lucidmeetings.com\r\nTwitter: @lucidmeetings\r\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elisekeith/\r\nGoodreads Booklist on Improving Meetings:...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/vh03-o0OUKG7JnFjtDqtJmV0y385f5sQOifebswPa_E/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQzNjM5LzE2OTA1/Nzg4MDYtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
