Wisdom on meetings is all-encompassing, as seems sometimes the time spent in meetings.
Google's vice president of search structures Marissa Mayer holds around 70 meetings a week, and for her none of those bromides are true. She "credits her meeting structure for leading to some of the most innovative advances in technology today" -- her meetings are meetings in which things actually do get done. She has six 'keys' to a successful meeting, outlined here. Here's a summary:
- Set a firm agenda
- Assign a note-taker
- Carve out micro-meetings
- Hold office hours
- Discourage politics, use data
- Stick to the clock
