“Meetings are indispensable when you don’t want to do anything.” observed American economist John Kenneth Galbraith.
If Galbraith’s quote makes you smile and nod in agreement, you’re not alone.
Meetings are a necessary part of every organization. They are where plans are made, goals are set, and reports are given. They offer the opportunity for dialogue and problem solving, as well as the chance to get to know colleagues better. They can even make people laugh. When conducted well, meetings can help everyone be more productive. Sounds great, doesn’t it?
