Meetings are a tough topic. Everyone wants to host one to aid their own causes or for their own projects or purposes. But no one wants to attend one. It’s like what I say about most phone calls. The person calling wants to talk. For the person receiving the call, it is often just an interruption. Many phone calls and meetings are NOT two-way streets. That’s why communication management and time management is important in order to be successful. Just like we must plan our business calls well in order to get the info we want and drive the conversation to a successful outcome, we must do the same with meetings.
