“Everyone Knows Meetings Suck. Can We Actually Fix Them?” Steven Rogelberg, author of “The Surprising Science of Meetings” and “Glad We Met: The Art & Science of 1:1 Meetings”

How can HR transform meetings into a competitive advantage?

Why is the one-on-one the one meeting that leaders should never cancel?

My guest on this episode is Steven Rogelberg, author of “The Surprising Science of Meetings” and “Glad We Met: The Art & Science of 1:1 Meetings”

During our conversation Steven and I discuss:

• Why a world without meetings is worse than a world with them
• Why the person who called the meeting is usually the only one who thinks it went well.
• Why measurement is the missing piece as engagement surveys almost never ask about meetings.
• Why framing your agenda as questions to be answered clarifies who to invite, what success looks like, and whether you even need to meet.
• Why the one-on-one belongs to the employee, not the manager
