Joanne – fair point. There are a lot of these meetings you don’t have control over whether it happens or not. But one area you COULD potentially influence is simply asking about your own role and purpose for a given meeting. How often do you people ask the meeting creator how essential they are to the meeting? I started trying this a few years ago and found i had about 10% fewer meetings. might be a nice place where you do have some control.

However, the challenge largely stems from limited ability to implement this advise because too often the meetings are run by others who do not know how to run an effective meeting. It’s one thing to be in control of running the meeting and implementing these great suggestions but when the meetings are being held by other groups or senior leaders is when it becomes more frustrating for attendees.
