Issue #22 (Group Meetings vs. One-on-one) 07/15/19
One of my favourite links from this week (see below) is the article from 2017 on one-on-one meetings vs. group meetings. I've always been deathly bored during team (or group) meetings and never felt they accomplished much of anything. But that doesn't mean that a group meeting can't be productive. It just has to be done the right way.
The whole article is well worth a read, but this is a good paragraph that sums things up nicely:
"The lazy and undisciplined manager can improve their style of management by thinking hard about who they really need to talk to about a particular subject. They can then pursue one-on-one meetings with those people. The lazy and undisciplined manager finds it easier to simply order everyone to show up, and then they figure out who they actually need to hear from while the meeting is going on. This is efficient for the manager, but inefficient for everyone else, and therefore inefficient for the firm."
Now on to this week's hand-picked productivity links!
