1. No Agenda

   When there is no agenda, there is no opportunity to prepare, no framework for the meeting and no purpose. When this happens a lot, there is a tendency for 5 below.

2. Wrong people there

   Ever been to a meeting where there was no logical purpose for you to be there? Meeting time is valuable and it is important for efficiency and effectiveness that as few people attend as purposeful. People should appreciate that non-attendance at a particular meeting is OK and get used to it.

3. Overrun

   Those times when you sit in a meeting and watch your life slip away, are those that happened with poor meeting management. There is nothing worse than unkept promises (and meetings are just that - a contract to the participants time) and must be honoured. Everyone has a role here.

4. Indiscipline

   Many meeting participants do not know how to behave. These are things about them and their ego, lack of self-confidence and poor behaviours (out side the meeting too). Lack of courtesy, understanding and space for others to say their piece is inexcusable and not constructive for the outcome

5. The Leader Leads

   Here the meeting is at the beck and call of the leader or chair who really is holding court for themselves. This sort of meeting is about them showing that they are democratic, but they are nothing of the sort. This is a rubber-stamping meeting and is of little or no value

    Employee Performance Reviews
    Employees have to be monitored and evaluated periodically to ensure that the management is aware of their performance as well as to suggest improvements if need be. When the employees are monitored and know that their performance will be appraised, they will put in their best efforts to do the job assigned to them well. Thus, employee performance reviews are an integral employee motivation and management tool as they determine if a raise,

    Too hot, too cold, no water, no breaks, too big, too small. Have you ever been in one of those meetings? And aren't they awful, so awful in fact that you can't do your best. This is a meeting where the organisers do not respect the participants

23. Nothing Happens

    A lovely chat, a few disagreements and 'see you next month'. This is the nice-to-have meeting which does nothing and goes nowhere. As Peter Drucker said, 'Meetings are a symptom of bad organization. The fewer meetings the better'

24. Side-tracked/New Stuff

    With an agenda, people know what the meeting will be about - or will they. Even with the best agenda'd meeting weak processes tend to leave to new issues, side-tracking and wasted time. This is solvable with effort from the facilitator

25. No Review and Growth

    Meetings come and go and are always awful. They are unproductive, boring, overrun and people are there who shouldn't be. If there is no review of just how good or bad the meeting has been, there will be no improvement. The leader/facilitator can add in meeting feedback as the first agenda item and stick to it - tough at first but gets easier.

Step by step, you can work, with a facilitator or not, to unravel just what needs to change. You will make a big difference, not only to meetings and how productive they are, but also to your capacity to build great relationships with the people who show up.

That's Leadership!
