Six Reasons Why Meetings Are Great

Meetings often get a bad rap. We sometimes hear from clients and friends at other companies that meetings are a waste of valuable time because nothing is accomplished. If that is the case in your organization, there are ways to ensure meetings are productive. Tools like agendas and meetings minutes help keep participants on track and hold people accountable as action items are recorded in the minutes.

I believe as long as meetings have a clear purpose (), accountability (), and a little fun mixed in, meetings are great. I jokingly asked my staff what their favorite meeting was. Several of us said the bi-annual rate review meeting. There is a pretty spreadsheet in this meeting. You can’t beat that.

Do you like meetings? Which one is your favorite?
