An estimated 55 million meetings happen across the USA every day and 9 out of 10 employees admit to daydreaming during meetings. Forty seven percent said attending too many meetings is the No. 1 time waster. Dr Steven Rogelberg, author of The Surprising Science of Meetings: How You Can Lead Your Team to Peak Performance provides direction, smart tactics and a how-to guide to change your working life. Steven is the world's leading expert on fixing meetings to stop wasting time and perform with better efficiency. The book's title is 'The Surprising Science of Meetings: How You Can Lead Your Team to Peak Performance'. What is peak performance? Why the science of, why not the research of? What does science tell us that research doesn't? What does evidence tell us about the effectiveness of meetings today vs say 5 years ago? When we have meetings that are not fulfilling or empowering, how does that impact the company or team engagement? Have we gotten to a point where bad meetings are the expectation? Is it a self perpetuating thing? What's the residue following a bad or unproductive meeting? What would Steven put in a course on running meetings? Good stewards are committed to selfless service. Where does ego sit in a productive meeting? Should how we run a great meeting almost be part of the identity of a great leader? Steven has said he has seen himself as a scholar. How does that influence how he sees his work in the corporate landscape? Steven's best friend's dad once spoke with his father and that conversation taught him a valuable lesson. What lesson did he learn? There is a space between stimulus and response. In that space what would Steven hear? Many attendees if not the actual leader are late for meetings. What is the effect of lateness on the effectiveness of meetings? The DRI Directly Responsible Individual is something Apple uses after each meeting. Why does it work? How should a meeting debrief be done? Using daily huddles and super brief meetings that last no longer than ten minutes. In Steven's research how important is to have true dissension in a productive meeting? How should dissension be managed? Does Steven like notetaking via digital or paper?   LINKS   Dr Steven Rogelberg website https://www.stevenrogelberg.com   The Mojo Sessions website https://www.themojosessions.com   The Mojo Sessions on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions?fan_landing=true   The Mojo Sessions on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions/   Gary on Linked in https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle-helping-unlock-great-ideas-b5182011/   Gary on Twitter https://twitter.com/GaryBertwistle   The Mojo Sessions on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/themojosessions/     If you like what you hear, we'd be grateful for a review on iTunes -  click here.

Everyone who has sat through an irrelevant or bloated meeting knows the pain it can cause. Meetings that are too long, have too many people or wander from point to point can be counterproductive and put a drain on creativity.   And somehow, during the COVID-19 pandemic, people are finding themselves in more meetings than ever before.  According to Steven Rogelberg, author of The Surprising Science of Meetings: How You Can Lead Your Team to Peak Performance, the problem isn't that there are too many meetings, it's that there are too many bad meetings. He suggests taking a science-based approach to break free from boring meetings and embrace meetings that encourage innovation and creativity.  Here are just six of Rogelberg's tips to running a better meeting.  Use silence. Research has found that silent brainstorming in meetings generates twice as many ideas as vocal group brainstorming, and the ideas tend to be more creative. Don't feel like you have to fill every meeting with endless talking. Lean into silence on occasion to build engagement. Be sensitive to the role as a facilitator. As the person leading a meeting, your job isn't to dominate, but rather to build inclusion and an environment where people can collaborate and get results. Create a thoughtful agenda. When structuring your agenda, put the most pressing items first. If the meeting runs long or you don't have a chance to get to everything, at least you addressed the most important issues. Ask for input from attendees about what agenda items should be addressed. Build an agenda around questions. Instead of building an agenda around a set of topics to discuss, frame the agenda as a set of questions to be answered. This approach creates different thinking and gives you a better idea of who to invite who can best answer the questions. When the questions have been answered, the meeting is over. Run a pre-mortem. Many companies use post-mortems to follow up on meetings and what can be improved for next time. But Rogelberg suggests taking a few minutes before a meeting for a pre-mortem. Ask yourself what could go wrong, then make adjustments to prevent those things from happening. This quick thought exercise can completely change a meeting. Start with positivity. Leaders set the tone for the meeting. When you start with positivity and optimism, it creates the same collective mentality for attendees. Take time at the beginning of the meeting to set collective expectations so everyone knows their role.  Meetings will forever be part of the business world—especially now, when people are separated and working from home. But they don't have to be boring! With a few simple adjustments, you can lead meetings that get results and encourage creativity and innovation.

Dr. Steven Rogelberg is the Chancellor’s Professor at UNC Charlotte. He is a professor of Organizational Science, Management, and Psychology as well as the Director of Organizational Science. He has over 100 publications addressing issues such as team effectiveness, leadership, employee well-being, and meetings at work.    Steven is also the author of The Surprising Science of Meetings: How You Can Lead Your Team to Peak Performance, which is based on his 20 years+ of research on the topic of meetings.    Most of us have to deal with meetings on a regular basis, whether they are in person meetings or virtual, and they can feel like a waste of time. But Steven says, the solution to bad meetings is not to get rid of all meetings, he says that would be a dangerous approach. “Meetings are really an evolution in the world of work. It's a recognition that organizations can be better with and through people. As organizations basically recognized that employee voices would be helpful and meaningful, they wanted to develop systems and approaches to capture those voices. And that's really where meetings come in. So a world without meetings is actually much more problematic. We need meetings for communication, cooperation, consensus decision-making, and in many regards, organizational democracy takes place in meetings.”   So, if we shouldn’t just get rid of meetings, what is the solution? Steven has found that there are many problems with meetings that we need to address in order to make horrible meetings into great ones. He says, “There's no magic formula for an ideal meeting. The research doesn't suggest that you can do A, then B, then C, and bam, that's the ingredients for an ideal meeting. What the research suggests is that the best meeting leaders have something in common. And what they have in common is a similar mindset and it's the mindset of being a good steward of others' time. And when you have that mindset, you start to become intentional. You start to think about various decision points that exist when you're running a meeting. You just don't dial it in. So you start to ask yourself, "Why are we meeting? What do we truly need to accomplish? Who really needs to be there? What's the best way of getting this work done?" I'm sure we'll talk later about the fact that there are some alternative techniques such as leveraging silence in meetings, that can be very, very powerful. So the key characteristic of an excellent meeting is a meeting that's designed in an intentional way and a way that truly honors the time of those that are attending.”   A few things you can start to implement right now include: Intentionally picking a time length for the meeting --don’t just default to 30 or 60 minutes Only invite people who are essential to the meeting. If others are interested you can tape the meeting and share it with them later Utilize silence in the meeting--this allows ideas to freely flow without interrupting each other and it helps introverts to participate The leader should facilitate the conversation, but they should not be the only voice heard, it is important to get everyone to participate.    “When you have a bad meeting, you just don't leave it at the door. It actually sticks with you. You ruminate and you co-ruminate, you have to tell someone else about your bad meeting. So, the consequences of bad meetings for individuals and for teams, and then as a result for organizations is really well-established. But there is a flip side. What we have found is that when leaders are more careful in the calling of meetings, really making sure that they are relevant, when leaders carefully manage time in meetings, and when leaders create freedom of speech in meetings, that employees report feeling more engaged with the jobs overall. While we often think about meetings as being places of drain, meetings done right can actually be places of gain.” What you will learn: A look at the evolution of meetings The biggest challenges that meetings bring Aspects that the best meetings have in common How to leverage silence in meetings What steps you can take to have a great meeting What to do if you have so many meetings you can’t get work done Advice for meeting leaders and participants

Steven Rogelberg, a professor at UNC Charlotte, has spent decades researching workplace meetings and reports that many of them are a waste of time. Why? Because the vast majority of managers aren't trained in or reviewed on effective meeting management.

Rogelberg is the author of the book "The Surprising Science of Meetings: How You Can Lead Your Team to Peak Performance" and the HBR article "Why Your Meetings Stink -- And What To Do About It."

How can we change boring, unproductive meetings into gatherings no one would want to miss? Many of us dread meetings, even when we’re the ones leading them! But there are steps we can take to make them great – steps Steven Rogelberg, author of the book, The Surprising Science of Meetings: How You Can Lead Your Team to Peak Performance,has been studying for over two decades. Though some argue we should get rid of meetings, Steven sees them as essential: “The elimination of meetings is a false goal. Without meetings, employee voice is quieted. Your ability to coordinate, communicate and truly engage in consensus decision making – they’re all compromised without meetings. . . the true goal is to eliminate bad meetings.” In this interview, Steven shares simple approaches we can take to make meetings great. He offers tips on how to structure meetings to achieve our goals, how to determine who needs to attend, and how to manage meeting energy. For example, he recommends shifting our next meeting agenda from a list of topics to a set of questions. By doing this, he explains, “Now you are actually very clear. You will be done with this meeting when these questions are answered.” Steven is an award-winning Professor of Organizational Science, Management, and Psychology at the University of North Carolina. His work has been profiled by the Los Angeles Times, Harvard Business Review, and the Wall Street Journal, and he’s worked with organizations such as IBM, TIAA and Procter & Gamble.
