227 - Are Your Meetings Creating Real Value?

Welcome back to the Great Transitions Strategies podcast! Meetings are often criticized as a waste of time—but the problem may not be meetings themselves. It may be how they are designed and evaluated. In this episode, Gary shares a three-part rubric for creating meetings that help people collaborate, make decisions, and accomplish meaningful work: 1. Review — Examine each meeting's purpose, participants, frequency, duration, and format. 2. Return on Investment — Determine whether bringing people together creates stronger communication, greater efficiency, better decisions, or valuable relationships. 3. Resonance — Ask whether participants believe the meeting was worth their time and helped them accomplish something important. Effective meetings should create value that cannot be achieved by everyone working separately. Challenge: Review one recurring meeting this week. What should you keep, change, or eliminate to make it more valuable for everyone involved? #EffectiveMeetings #LeadershipDevelopment #WorkplaceProductivity #ExecutiveCoaching #MondayMorningStandUp #GreatTransitionsStrategies
