Meetings are necessary in every organization, but when meetings are not well run they become a huge waste of time. Bad meetings are mocked in everything from the comics page of the newspaper to television commercials. Bad meetings, too many meetings, unnecessary meetings all contribute to poor company culture and an unhealthy work environment.
Let’s look at some numbers:
- There are about 11 million meetings held on average every single day, with employees attending about 62 meetings every month, on average. And that is in US workplaces alone.
- The average middle level manager spends around 35% of their time in meetings.
- For those higher up the corporate ladder, this figure can go as high as 50%.
- 37% of meetings are considered to be adding no value to the organization
- Attendees of a certain company’s weekly executive committee spent 7000 man hours each year on a weekly meeting
- Their subordinates spent 300,000 man hours per year preparing for and supporting this weekly meeting
What if I told you I have the solution to too many (and ineffective) meetings, and that solution can save you hundreds of hours this year?
I’ll show you how to simplify meetings to a process. As a leadership team, you meet for 90 minutes each week; for a full day in your quarterly session; and for two full days in your annual planning session. That’s roughly 115 hours per year in meetings. That’s it.
How does this work? How can you possibly limit your meetings to fewer than 115 hours per year? Ask Mike Roth!
If you want to save hundreds of hours, you don’t have to wait until the new year. Schedule a call today and learn the process. In a short time you will be on track to a healthier organization.
