Meetings should be minimized as a packed calendar does not equate to productivity. When meetings are necessary, clarity is crucial. Oprah Winfrey's approach can aid in this—begin meetings with intentions that focus discussions. High performers seek clarity and decision-making rather than recaps or reviews in meetings. Sharing necessary information in advance is essential for productivity. Effective meetings should have concise agendas that lead to clear actions and accountability, ensuring that decisions are made on specific outcomes like product launch dates or supplier selection.
High performers constantly seek clarity and work hard to sift out distractions so they can focus and continually refocus on what is important.
Good meetings result in decisions regarding what needs to be done, who will do it, when it will be done, and establish clear direction and accountability.
No meeting agenda should include words like recap, information, review, or discussion; these are poor reasons to convene a meeting.
Successful people don’t wait for external triggers to start making changes; they make decisions and act immediately on their intentions.
