This article discusses the principles for organizing and attending effective meetings.
I attended a training session on "How to Organize Effective Meetings" that was ironically not very effective itself. Quite amusing.
Are meetings a good form of communication? For me, even with tools like DingTalk, Slack, and video conferencing, face-to-face discussions are still a very necessary form of communication. They are suitable for solving complex or divergent problems and are time-sensitive. They effectively avoid the timeliness issues and potential misunderstandings of asynchronous communication.
Principles for Organizing a Meeting
- Clear, achievable meeting objectives and deliverables
- Clear, deeply involved participants
- Decision-makers with sufficient voting rights (for meetings that require decisions, the boss needs to attend or have enough voting shares)
- A start time and estimated duration
- 100% sharing of meeting conclusions afterwards
Principles for Attending a Meeting
- If possible, decline meetings where the content, participants, or relevance to you is unclear
- For meetings of low relevance to you, try to use other communication methods and reduce attendance if possible
- If unavoidable meetings take up more than 30% of your weekly work time, consider changing companies or positions
