Summary

Meetings have changed.  They’re more frequent, virtual, and informal.  Yet, most professionals haven’t upgraded their meeting skills.  It’s no wonder that 43% of meeting time is wasted, due to:   
 
1. Meeting overload: Professionals waste twenty-four days a year in useless meetings. 
2. Missing success ingredients: Ninety percent of all professionals attend meetings that lack a clearly stated objective and agenda. 
3. Virtual-meeting chaos: Disinterested participants + endless technical glitches= huge amounts of wasted time. 
4. Agenda adrift: Goals are missed when meetings veer off course. 
5. Action distraction: Incomplete action items result in delayed projects and missed deadlines.
