Meeting Invitation

Meeting Invitation

Did you ever wonder why most meetings seem to last so longer than scheduled? Is it because discussions are allowed to swing off track? Disorganization or a lack of preparation is the cause? Most participants start questioning themselves whether their time involved in meetings is well spent and whether their presence would reap results. Although we all recognize the value of time as a resource to productivity, but some still overlook the fact in the context of day-to-day meetings...

I truly believe that it is the responsibility each participant regardless of his role or seniority to ensure that time committed to meetings is productive. This need becomes even more apparent during an economic downturn when organizations are scrutinizing ways to manage more efficiently and effectively while implementing necessary cost savings. Always remember that; Time is money if you don’t use it you lose it...

In my humble opinion, Meetings in ME are very much governed by cultural habits. Viewing it in this context explains why (time) is not seen as a valuable factor!!

That is correct, thanks for sharing. Here is a small trick I offer sometimes to corporate coaching clients... Change few words in the invitation text. Replace "discussion" with "decision" as in "We are going to decide on..." And see the difference made by this new habit (and mindset).
