"So, you're a leader. Your leadership involves managing a team while having both a defined direction and multiple essential goals that need completion. Your goal is to plan effectively and empower your team to achieve high performance. The truth is that team leadership extends beyond goal achievement. Leaders must handle the complex interpersonal situations that emerge when working with people. The speed and continuous change of your present work environment make this task extremely challenging."
"We've all been there. You leave a meeting, and instead of feeling energised or clear-headed, you feel... off. Maybe the meeting dragged on too long. Perhaps it was poorly run, or maybe it left unresolved tensions hanging in the air. Whatever the reason, you walk away feeling drained. Your focus is lost. Your motivation? Gone. And instead of diving back into your work, you find yourself replaying parts of the meeting in your head, over and over. That's a meeting hangover."
Meeting hangovers occur when participants leave meetings feeling drained, unfocused, and demotivated rather than energized or clear-headed. Common causes include overly long meetings, poor facilitation, and unresolved tensions that linger after the meeting ends. Symptoms include replaying meeting moments, loss of focus, reduced motivation, and difficulty returning to productive work. A survey of 5,000 knowledge workers in the US and UK found over 90% admitted to experiencing meeting hangovers. Meeting hangovers act as a hidden productivity killer, complicating leadership responsibilities around sharing ownership, fostering accountability, and supporting teams during change.
