Podcasts about effective meetings

In this episode of Zero to CEO, I speak to change agent and coach Evan Unger about how meetings can either make or break your startup's culture. Evan reveals how most meetings are shockingly inefficient and how that wasted time impacts leadership, productivity, and team morale. He shares practical tools to transform your meetings from painful time-sinks into high-performing decision-making engines. Whether you're leading a remote team or building your startup's culture from scratch, this episode gives you the strategies to make every meeting count.

Send us a textMeetings can be a productivity killer when poorly managed. Many professionals, like Jordan, find themselves stuck in unnecessary, unproductive discussions that drain time and energy. Common meeting mistakes include domination by one speaker, lack of real collaboration, going off-topic, constant postponements, micromanagement, and meetings that should've been emails.To fix this, leaders must run meetings with clear goals, structured agendas, and a focus on efficiency. Simple strategies—like keeping discussions on track, using an agenda as a guide, and capturing off-topic ideas separately—can make meetings more productive and engaging.Key Takeaways✔ Keep Meetings Collaborative – Avoid one-person monologues and ensure everyone's input matters.✔ Stick to the Agenda – Prevent discussions from derailing by consistently referencing meeting goals.✔ Make Decisions, Not Delays – Ensure meetings lead to actionable outcomes rather than endless postponements.✔ Respect People's Time – If it can be an email, don't make it a meeting.✔ Encourage Trust & Efficiency – Avoid micromanagement during check-ins to keep morale high.Take ActionBefore scheduling your next meeting, ask yourself:✅ Is this necessary?✅ What's the goal?✅ Could this be an email?

This week Dave goes over the 5 keys to effective meetings and answers some listener Q&A. 

Kathryn and Michael discuss strategies for having effective meetings. They recommend clearly defining the purpose and desired outcome before scheduling a meeting, and considering whether the goals could be achieved through other means like email or phone calls. Sending an agenda ahead of time helps participants prepare. Ideal meetings have a consistent day/time, start and end on time, follow the agenda framework, and last 20-30 minutes for tactical topics, an hour for strategic topics, or up to 2 hours for planning sessions. A designated facilitator manages time, redirects digressions, and incorporates stress relief or fun elements when appropriate for the context.

A recent survey conducted by Talker Research revealed that 38% of Americans have never felt more uninspired at work than they do now. That's a bit over one-third of the workforce! In light of this dissatisfaction, what can be said about management? The post-pandemic workforce has a new view on what gives their lives meaning and the benefits of hybrid work, making it more challenging than ever for managers to keep their teams engaged and productive. To share how management can face this hybrid workforce era is our guest Mamie Kanfer Stewart. She's the founder and CEO of Meeteor, a coaching and training company that focuses on creating healthy, high-performing teams with a special emphasis on productive meetings, as well as the author of “Momentum: Creating Effective, Engaging and Enjoyable Meetings.” Mamie also hosts the Modern Manager Podcast, where she delivers practical advice to help people tap into their managerial greatness. In this episode, Mamie shares how managers, despite being the unsung heroes of the workplace, fail to receive the support and skill development they need from their leadership so they can excel at their jobs. Mamie points out the essential skills managers need to thrive in today's ever-popular hybrid work environments — from effective feedback and authentic appreciation for creating high-performance teams to leveraging AI tools for productivity and collaboration. We also talk about meetings, why employees hate them, and how management can use them for relationship-building rather than wasting people's time.  If your employees and management could use a boost, then this episode is a must-listen!

Summary In this episode, Andy interviews Rich Maltzman and Jim Stewart about their book Great Meetings Build Great Teams: A Guide for Project Leaders and Agilists. They discuss the common reasons why people dislike meetings, such as lack of purpose and poor facilitation. They introduce the concept of 'meeting goblins,' which are negative personalities that emerge during meetings, and provide strategies for dealing with them. The conversation also covers the challenges and best practices of virtual meetings, as well as the benefits and potential pitfalls of agile ceremonies like daily standups. The conversation focuses on the importance of effective meetings in building great teams. Rich and Jim share their experiences and strategies for running successful meetings, including setting ground rules, timekeeping, and using technology like AI for meeting summaries. They also discuss the impact of cultural differences on meetings and provide tips for managing diverse teams. The conversation concludes by emphasizing the link between great meetings and great teams, highlighting the role of meetings in fostering collaboration, building relationships, and achieving project goals. Sound Bites "Meetings are a fact of life, often complained about but also often tolerated." "Connection before context. Before you start right into the meeting, make sure you have a little bit of social interaction." "Goblins are personalities that come out during meetings, and it's up to the meeting facilitator to recognize and address them." "Great meetings aren't just about agendas and facilitation techniques; they're about showing that you care about the project and the team." "Rosie the Reticent is the quiet version of Nadia the Naysayer." "Decision latency is one of the biggest reasons for project failures, so it's crucial to have the right people at meetings." "Understanding national, regional, and organizational cultures is important for effective meetings."

Looking to stay on top of the ever changing world of HR? MRA has got you covered. We'll be the first to tell you what's hot and what's not. I'm your host, Sophie Boler, and we are so glad you're here. 00:00:21:05 - 00:00:43:01 Unknown Now it's time to thrive. Well, hello everybody, and welcome to episode number 50. We're celebrating this episode today, so it's a little special. So thanks for being our 50th guest Andy, Cheers to that! Oh, I know it's your first time being hot here. I am a little hurt, you know, 50. 00:00:43:03 - 00:01:05:05 Unknown There's been 49 without me. I thought you like me, Sophie. No But seriously, though be glad to be here. We saved you for a good episode so. All right, well, that makes me feel better. Well, we all know there's kind of a collective groan when you hear this is going to be a fun meeting. And one of our team members actually has a notebook that says notes and doodles for meetings. 00:01:05:05 - 00:01:28:13 Unknown That should have been emails. Oh, so we've all been there. We've all sat through meetings, have felt like they've kind of been wasting time and just wasting that productive time. And now with the whole hybrid and remote work factors, meetings just seem to have lost their power. So today we're going to be discussing tips on how to make meetings great and not merely just meeting to meet. 00:01:28:15 - 00:01:49:17 Unknown So today I'm here with an expert on the topic, Andy Marris. He's an MRA learning and development instructor, but he really has broad expertise and leadership growth, change management, brand marketing, and much more so in a lot of different roles too, like leader, coach, motivator and trainer. So I know you'll have a lot of great tips for us today. 00:01:49:20 - 00:02:07:22 Unknown Know this is a topic I'm very passionate about. Not a big fan of wasting time and I've been in four or five hour meetings that were really effective. Yes, absolutely. Very 20 meeting, 20 minute meetings, like why am I here? Right. So really important that we get this right. Oh, we got to start out with the negatives. Unfortunately. 00:02:07:23 - 00:02:33:09 Unknown So what are some top complaints of having meetings generally? Oh, there's so many. There's so many. To me maybe my biggest. Yeah. Complaint is when the meeting is supposed to end at a certain time and it goes way over a minute or two or human. I actually try to leave slightly early. We can talk about that later, but it's, it's really irritating when it goes way beyond it. 00:02:33:09 - 00:02:53:13 Unknown And you've got other responsibilities, other duties. Another thing that really bothers me is when it doesn't have an agenda, you sit there wondering, why am I here? And I actually want to add value to the meeting. But if I'm not aware of what we're even going to try and solve or understand. And in the meeting that's really been set up to fail, they already feel like a huge waste of time. 00:02:53:13 - 00:03:13:06 Unknown Yeah, we're all so busy. Oh, add on to the negative ones too. I feel like one of my pet peeves is when no one's really engaged in the meeting either. A certain kind of sitting there looking at each other, that's that's never a good thing. But any other common mistakes people make when running or even planning a meeting. 00:03:13:12 - 00:03:37:23 Unknown So not having an actionable agenda I think is a big one. Not helping people understand their role is supposed to be in the meeting. What are we trying to accomplish? What should I bring? What value? Not having a follow up. There's just so many things that go poorly in meetings, and I think it's really important to think about, you know, why are we having the meeting? 00:03:37:23 - 00:04:00:16 Unknown Yeah, who should be there and then what do we do before, during, after, and then even follow up all of those types of things so that the meetings are really fruitful and it's solving business problems or informing people of what they need to know. Yeah, absolutely. Well, let's dive into some logistics. What are some key principles for conducting efficient and effective meetings? 00:04:00:16 - 00:04:25:15 Unknown And you covered a couple, but any other kind of key principles that we can't miss. Yeah, I really want to emphasize I know I've said it already, but they're really having what we call an action based agenda, an outcome based agenda. We we want it focused on where are we going with this, Right. So instead of having bullets for the meeting, guess I've seen invites that they're trying to even have an agenda. 00:04:25:15 - 00:04:52:12 Unknown And that's better than not having real say, updates or new ideas. And what am I going to do with that? Right now I'm that does it really mean anything? Instead, how about something like brainstorm solution to X problem or vote on realistic deadline for whatever the whatever the project is. And so those types of things, we want to make sure, yeah, we have it be action oriented, right? 00:04:52:12 - 00:05:13:16 Unknown Have verbs that say we're going to do something, not just one more specific. Yes, exactly. Exactly. So how about the length for meetings? Like, do you have a recommendation for an appropriate length of a meeting or any recommendations on that? Well, it really depends on what you're trying to accomplish. I've been to really fruitful all day meetings because it's a major undertaking. 00:05:13:16 - 00:05:38:18 Unknown Or maybe it's a, you know, once a year strategic planning event or something like that. So that could be really long, but it really needs to be fruitful because we're putting together the agenda that helps us understand what we're trying to accomplish and when and why and who is going to do what. And that's at the same time, most meetings are there to not be that long kind of the standard. 00:05:38:18 - 00:05:59:16 Unknown Is it our release? It's COVID. I think it is especially true because people are so many virtual meetings. And so you're not even in the same room physically, and people are stacking meetings on top of each other. And I don't even have time to do take care of my boss. No need to you. Yeah, right. We're we're in the when I'm going from one meeting to another. 00:05:59:16 - 00:06:17:05 Unknown So we've been suggesting that maybe people think about a 50 minute meeting. So you've got a ten minute period to get ready to prep for the next meeting and take care of any physical needs you have. Oh, maybe a 25 minute meeting instead of a half hour, that kind of thing. So people have a time to decompress, they have time to prep. 00:06:17:07 - 00:06:42:24 Unknown And we could just keep stacking these, especially when around that rectangle, right? Yeah, that, that's, that's I think really helpful. Yeah, that's a great idea. I feel like with those daylong meetings or five plus our meetings, it's important that breaks to like, yeah, definitely just even a 15. Malik Let's go take a walk or I don't know. And so spring break, as a trainer, we talk about having breaks every 70 minutes. 00:06:42:24 - 00:07:00:15 Unknown There's actually adult learning science behind there. I think we can apply that to meetings if we know there's going to be along. Would people kind of hit a wall? Yeah, 70 minutes or so. That's what the research tells us. And I think that applies to meetings too. So how about managing time during the meeting and what do you have to say about that? 00:07:00:17 - 00:07:20:09 Unknown It is really important to make sure that people are moving, whatever the topic is forward. So often people go down rabbit holes, they're not the focus of the meeting and squirrel, and now we're now we're we're we're out of alignment with what we're trying to accomplish. So as the meeting leader, you want to make sure you're constantly driving it forward. 00:07:20:11 - 00:07:41:15 Unknown I have a joke that I tell people. I said, Let's follow the five B's. Be brief, baby. Three briefs. Right? And that makes people laugh. But it also reminds people why in the plane ride, you know, it it get your point out, but do it in a way that's concise and that everyone understands, right? Say enough so that people understand. 00:07:41:17 - 00:07:58:23 Unknown But also concise enough that we're not dominating the meeting. In fact, I suggest to people that whatever the number of the people in the meeting, that there's ten people in a meeting, you should be 1/10 of the conversation. And if there is two people of three, that you should be half right? Yeah. And for whatever that is, kind of aim for that. 00:07:58:23 - 00:08:16:16 Unknown And will we set those rules ahead of time? I think that really, really wait a bit and I know we were talking about this before. How about the Alamo acronym? No, I think we got to bring it out of the gate here. So we've got Elmo here and famous Sesame Street character. I know I'm actually too old for this guy. 00:08:16:16 - 00:08:36:15 Unknown My kids like this guy. So he didn't exist when I was Sesame Street eight. But instead. Fair enough. Let's move on. If somebody is just circling and circling and circling in that landing the plane, as I like to say, and let's move on now, of course, we have to set this as a rule out of whole it, Elmo. 00:08:36:18 - 00:08:55:08 Unknown There could be a salty ride like what you shot. It's basically shot up, but in a nice way. Right. But but it really helps people go, okay, you know what? We've we've discussed this enough. We've come to a consensus or whatever it is, somebody can call it Elmo. You definitely want to wait to call it. Some people call Elmo too quickly, right? 00:08:55:08 - 00:09:25:23 Unknown Well, wait a minute. We're not quite done. And otherwise it's something we do on our team. And so we'll even say Elmo has been called in then. Okay. We we we beat this topic to death instead of on something else. Oh, yeah. No, I learned that from the instructors. And I love all of you. SMITH So what are some effective ways to really engage all the meeting participants in a meeting and kind of encourage active collaboration for the whole group and the meeting? 00:09:25:23 - 00:09:45:06 Unknown Leader You want to really be a facilitator, right? It's really about drawing people out. It's not. Everybody loves being the center of attention, so people are very shy and they have great things to add. But if it stays between their ears, does it do us a lot of good, right? So, you know, so B, what do you think? 00:09:45:12 - 00:10:10:15 Unknown Yeah, but not putting people on the spot. Another reason why it's so important to have that outcome based agenda is they know what they're supposed to say in the meeting, what they're supposed to bring, what value they're going to offer, what expertise we're asking for them to bring. And and so they're more prepared because this goes hour, maybe two or three days before the meeting ever takes place. 00:10:10:17 - 00:10:31:20 Unknown I try to shoot for at least 24 hours before the meeting. We've got this action based agenda, you know, in the invitation. Yeah. And how about for remote meetings or virtual meetings? I feel like it might be a little trickier to get that active engagement through a screen. So what are your what's your advice on that? Well, I've got one. 00:10:31:20 - 00:10:51:06 Unknown We've talked straight to the camera on this. Put your camera on that one. Thrives me crazy, right? Because all of a sudden, it's like that conference call from hell that you're probably too young to remember. But with some folks, you know, we used to have just the forward sitting in the middle of the room and you people would interrupt each other and, oh, you go first. 00:10:51:06 - 00:11:04:10 Unknown So you go first. So we that was an extra awkward part of the room. And why have video if we're not going to use it? Cos we don't know what they're doing. I've actually even but it'll fill me in with this one. I mean you know, it's kind of creepy when you, when you don't do your game. Right. 00:11:04:11 - 00:11:26:03 Unknown Boy, does that go out quickly. That's right. You're better. You'd better know your audience. You pull that one out. But we've got to get that camera on. You know, I. I get it. People could be doing laundry during the meeting. I want them focused on what we're doing. Yeah. And it's great that we can work from everywhere. I've been impressed at how we can. 00:11:26:05 - 00:11:45:04 Unknown A lot of people have proven that they can be really good in online meetings where they're not distracted. And but boy, that camera on passionate about that one. And I don't really believe the excuse that you are one or the other camera this 2020 this you do and and you know we just went through a global pandemic recently. 00:11:45:04 - 00:12:11:06 Unknown Everyone has a camera now. I grew up in kind of going off of that what you're talking about with the laundry and just being a little unproductive on the meetings. What are some best practices for handling those, let's say, disruptions or unproductive behavior during meetings? I think it's really important to set the expectations ahead of time, right? There's so many rules of engagement. 00:12:11:06 - 00:12:28:21 Unknown I like to make sure that everyone agrees to at the outset of the meeting, and maybe you can have that for your invite, right? Yeah. So Vegas Rule, which set in the meeting, stays in the meeting so people feel safe to contribute, right? That's a huge part. Like I said, everybody's a certain percentage of the of the conversation. 00:12:28:23 - 00:12:53:00 Unknown No killer phrases like that'll never work or this is a dumb idea, right? Yeah. You know, why would you do that? You shut down conversation. Nobody wants to be told that. And so all of a sudden, the best ideas get lost because people kill the conversation like that. So the idea called the parking lot is a great rule to where we that's not in the scope of this meeting, but it could be a great future meeting. 00:12:53:00 - 00:13:14:05 Unknown Let's put that on the parking lot. Maybe we've got a big sheet of paper or something we can write that on. We don't to lose the idea, but it just doesn't really help us in what we're trying to accomplish right now. And one other thing that I think is really important is to assign minutes to someone. So is taking the notes and what was said and at what point and all those types of things. 00:13:14:07 - 00:13:38:23 Unknown But let's not talk that on the same person every time. I think it's important that we rotate that. And so that's not felt done somewhat. Yeah, that's great advice. And you talked about that meetings kind of carry over to actionable steps after the meeting. So how can follow up actions in accountability be established to ensure that meetings lead to great success for outcomes? 00:13:39:00 - 00:14:01:10 Unknown It's a great question, right? So I liked following up with the meeting on, you know, here are the minutes, here's what was discussed. And oh, by the way, here's your actions. PARTICIPANT Here's the what's in it for me from your perspective, I got to put myself in their shoes. Here's your action items, not just out what are the due dates. 00:14:01:12 - 00:14:22:24 Unknown And so that's really clear. And then of course, any next steps that need to be included and you could be having another meeting maybe didn't accomplish or as boss do in the 50 minutes they are. Instead of going over, I'd rather just call another meeting. And here's what we accomplished so far. Here's what we still need to. I think that's a lot more effective than people tuning out to. 00:14:23:04 - 00:15:00:16 Unknown This is still going on and becomes a just a time waster once again. So how about are there any particular cultural or organizational factors that can impact the effectiveness of meetings and how can you really address those? That's a really good question because it really is cultural. I go to some organizations where if you're if you're not 15 minutes early, you're late, and then they go to others where like the meeting was also started 15 minutes ago, it's somebody still walking in and everyone else having side conversations as if this is normal. 00:15:00:16 - 00:15:20:12 Unknown And so we better set the ground rules right and work within your culture. You can always work to shape it, right. Really hard to change your culture. We could do that over time and set the ground rules upfront, right? That when we're in the meetings that I facilitate on time means on time. Yeah, I expect you to be here. 00:15:20:14 - 00:15:44:08 Unknown And this is what I did want and what concept. We will get this done on a timer ahead of time. Yeah. Instead of going way over because we didn't even start at the appropriate. Yeah. That's funny that you bring up being late or being early because I feel like, you know, the people who, oh, I can be 10 minutes late or I got to be here 30 minutes early or that's just kind of fun. 00:15:44:10 - 00:16:10:02 Unknown But as we wrap up here, what is one key takeaway that you want to share to make your meetings the most effective and efficient as possible? All right. Well, points. Good question. Hard. I come prepared, come prepared. Be ready to speak up, have an open mind, and really be thinking about what is the best way to accomplish what we're trying to do. 00:16:10:04 - 00:16:30:16 Unknown If I can, if if I can give you just my favorite way to brainstorm, since we're talking about meetings of one huge tip, it's a very boring name. It's called the nominal group technique. So you would agree with that. But but you'd say the best way to brainstorm it ever. Funny. Have you ever been in a meeting where it's supposed to be a brainstorm is more like a drizzle? 00:16:30:17 - 00:16:56:11 Unknown Yes. Not even close to a star. Was not even a light brain. Right. And what the what this is, is everybody gets a silent voice. What? You have a group of people, let's say there's eight people in the meeting. Everybody takes a turn. I give people 2 minutes to write every answer they can come up with. Oh, two, whatever the question that we're trying to solve, whatever, whatever the issue is, no talking and then no judge. 00:16:56:13 - 00:17:11:24 Unknown And I get people out of these meetings. I give people one. Mulligan Right. You know, Well, that'll never work. That's zero again. You do that again, you're out of here. And I've kicked people out because they just can't help it, those killer phrases. But can we can we take turn? So we come back from the 2 minutes. Absolute silence. 00:17:12:01 - 00:17:29:00 Unknown Some people are writing stuff right away, so that person that had a real brainstorm would just shout it out. It still could do that great person that needs time to process. Yeah. Has all this time to think about it? It 90 seconds might go by, but then that last 30 seconds, they're writing all kinds of stuff. Yeah, we go around one at a time and every shares their ideas. 00:17:29:00 - 00:17:45:09 Unknown So you really are the most shy person in the group. Yes. Still gets you can to read off that line up. You don't have to make eye contact deep in with anybody if you're comfortable with that. And we capture all these ideas and I think the best practices to go around one more time. Yeah, they now have the ideas. 00:17:45:14 - 00:18:05:20 Unknown Two more minutes. We go around till everybody passes and I find we get the best ideas of that second round. And it may even be something that somebody said, That's a dumb idea. Yeah, but a piggyback on that. Maybe not so good idea could actually foster a terrific idea, you know, And then we can vote on what what we think are the. 00:18:06:00 - 00:18:24:00 Unknown The ideas that we go forward. Yeah, that's a great tip. I feel like I'm I'm a person who has to think and think before I can don't know, say say something or contribute. So that's a helpful way on how to still contribute, but gives me time to think about it and write down my answers and stuff like that. 00:18:24:00 - 00:18:44:02 Unknown Well, I've you know, I've had some brainstorms that were drizzles and I've had some that were actual triggered speakers. We use, Hey, like me. And it's awesome how well it works. Yeah. Okay. So now you've got everybody to kind of contribute their ideas, but what happens if you get too many ideas now? What? So yeah, that's. That's like the opposite probably. 00:18:44:02 - 00:19:01:05 Unknown Right. You go, It's a drizzle now you've got a hurricane, right? It's a great problem to have. I remember one time I asked my group, we came up with 101 ideas during a brain to brainstorm session with the nominal group technique we can't do even because to that right, we want to do maybe five of those things. Well, how do we pick? 00:19:01:09 - 00:19:22:03 Unknown Yeah, well, my favorite way to do that then is something we call multi voting and you could do 3 to 1 where your favorite idea gets three points. Use second to. I think it's much better to go five, three, one. The cream rises to the top, everybody, and you got to read the whole list. And you know, there's a ton of ideas that that's a lot to look at. 00:19:22:08 - 00:19:39:01 Unknown But your favorite idea gets five, your second three. And then just one point for the third and you don't vote for anything else. And then you see who got the most votes. And the cream really does rise. The pop. You might get two or three ideas and then you might do it one more time to pick the favorite idea. 00:19:39:03 - 00:19:58:20 Unknown But that really, really helps us narrow that down. And it's a really good tool to make that brainstorm really fruitful. Absolutely. So, you know, you've given us a lot of great meeting strategies and tips and advice, but is there anything else or am I saying, well, this is why I saved my favorite for last perfect. I call it the Ale rule. 00:19:58:24 - 00:20:22:12 Unknown So let me pour a drink while I'm telling you this early. Always leave early, even if it's only 10 seconds early. So tell me if I give you a shameless plug. Absolutely. I do a class on efficient, effective readings. It's not offered in our catalog. It's more of an on site that companies will bring me in, which I think is actually really effective. 00:20:22:12 - 00:20:45:16 Unknown Because like you asked before about the culture, I can tailor it to their culture. And then I even have other topics that were similar, like having efficient and effective emails and things like that.

If you're feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by unproductive meetings that seem to go nowhere, then you are not alone! Despite your efforts to lead engaging discussions, you may find yourself stuck in a cycle of inefficient decision-making and disengaged participants. Your attempts to create a structured meeting agenda may be falling flat, resulting in wasted time and missed opportunities for collaboration. Enter the four P's; People, Process, Product, and Purpose! Nothing boosts productivity like having the right people in the room, those who are crucial to the meeting's goal. The process, or the structure of the meeting, sets the tone for an efficient discourse. The product - the expected outcome of the meeting - ensures we're all working towards a common goal. And finally, the purpose. Why are we here? Answering this question adds clarity, making the meeting meaningful and necessary. When everyone has a role, purpose, intention, and actions in meetings, the relationship goes more smoothly and builds to a deeper, more sustainable place. - Kendall Hagensen Get all the links, resources and show notes here: https://wellnesscentercreators.com Sponsored by Jane App, Jane offers online booking, charting, scheduling, secure video and invoicing on one secure, beautifully designed system: https://jane.app/ Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

Oscar Trimboli is a marketing and technology industry veteran who consults to multinationals with a quest to create 100 million Deep Listeners. Over 28,000 people have contributed to his research about listening. Oscar describes how he learned to listen deeply and consequently improve organizational performance including shortening meetings. He shares useful insights and questioning techniques, demonstrated as he prompts Sophie to hone her own skills. Oscar is the author of “How to Listen”, and host of award-winning podcast “Deep Listening.”     KEY TAKEAWAYS   [03:01] To avoid drawing attention to himself, Oscar starts to ask people questions and be very curious.   [04:10] Oscar learned to watch and listen for signs playing cards with international students at school.   [06:58] Following his father's advice, Oscar becomes an accountant, but his boss steers him to coding.   [09:17] “Which customers have you listened to?” Oscar asks engineers when developing new products.   [11:40] If people want to join Oscar's team they are tasked to bring back a new insight about customers.   [14:11] Before becoming CEO, Satya Nadella was in a Microsoft division which was customer-focused.   [14:54] A concerning interaction with Oscar's VP ends up with him being asked to code how to listen.   [16:45] Oscar audits a meeting starting to encode his observations and build his research database—now at 27,000--and listening materials.   [18:29] Researching non-therapeutic listening, Oscar discovers no commonality of approach.   [19:13] Observing interactions, Oscar starts counting the number of questions, types, and length.   [20:37] Good meeting hosts have empathetic curiosity to understand other people's perspectives.   [22:48] Deliberate listening and questioning techniques can shorten meetings by several hours a week.   [23:55] Assessing appropriate use of open-ended questions and biased questions.   [26:00] Oscar believes many leaders operate from a place of unconscious bias vs dialogue and outcome.   [26:55] Oscar notes that Sophie's question is long and complex and advises her to break it down to improve understanding.   [28:44] Oscar answers Sophie's reworded question, explaining the five levels of listening.   [30:10] People only voice 14% of their thoughts, so the most important elements may be left unsaid.   [32:02] The importance of silence—appreciated more in indigenous cultures and Asian countries.   [33:45] The Bias Assessment: Oscar says 3 is half of 8 and shows he is correct!   [35:16] Using the Harvard Association Bias Assessment to help combat our assumption filter.   [37:40] Interrupting skillfully and elegantly—but not cutting someone off—can be a powerful listening technique.   [39:19] The question to ask at the beginning of a conversation to create common direction and shorten the meeting.   [43:15] How referring periodically to the question acts as a compass and tracks progress.   [44:08] How this listening compass gives permission for adjustments and shortens meetings.   [45:14] Oscar wonders if Sophie could shorten her question to one sentence.   [46:01] Sophie's second question is short and direct, possibly too direct?   [47:03] Oscar shares the 1:25:900 rule, Sophie incorporates context, revising the question a third time.   [48:34] How leaders can hone their question skills, recognizing different orientation and perspectives.   [51:57] We have a listening battery with finite capacity. Ensure you recharge it or postpone the next meeting.   [53:29] The importance of carving out time between and before virtual meetings.   [55:05] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Before you go into a virtual meeting, use three minutes to charge your listening battery by listening to music. The music tempo should match the outcome you want. At the same time, get out of your chair, go for a walk.     RESOURCES   Oscar Trimboli on LinkedIn Oscar's website Oscar's book “How to Listen: Discover the Hidden Key to Better Communication” To explore your listening barriers www.listeningquiz.com     QUOTES (edited)   “Which customers have you listened to to form your opinion?”     “When you are the speaker, quite often what you say and what the listener hears is at the intersection of what's going through their mind. What you said and what you say may not be heard by them because they're processing this in a completely different way.”   “A good host will get everybody to listen to them. A great host will get everybody to listen to each other.”   “It's about empathetic curiosity to go “Can I seek to understand their perspective just a little longer?” because when I do, I may see horizons, I may see opportunities, I may see perspectives that I've never envisaged before and this only happens when you explore through questions.”   “If you ask questions with more than eight words, typically it is going to be a biased question. If you ask questions with less than eight words, typically it is going to be more open-ended.”   “So the five levels of listening: first is listen to yourself, next, listen to the content, what they say, what you sense, and what you hear.”   “So typically someone will speak in a range of 125 to 150 words per minute, but they can think nearly nine times faster. They can think of 900 words per minute. So the very first things they say is 14% of what they think and what they mean. So it means that most conversations have 86% of the conversation not said.”   “In high context cultures….silence is a sign of wisdom, respect, and authority. Silence is a magnet that draws out what's missing in the conversation.”   “If we're conscious of silence, we can draw out more of what's unsaid, because silence is that great universal cross cultural magnet that helps all of us listen.”   “What would make this a great conversation?”   “Hanging on every word doesn't make a good listening. Interrupting skillfully, professionally elegantly can be as powerful a listening technique. Most people confuse listening with therapy, where you have to be silent the whole time.”   “Managers get results when they're present. Leaders get results when they're absent.”
