Would you believe it if I were to tell you that there are over 10,000 meetings every minute across the US during the business day? It’s amazing how much time we spend in meetings and yet often, don’t get much done. Why does that happen? How can we avoid these situations? The first step is accountability. Everyone in the committee must agree to what the outcomes of the group need to be. This must be the first step! Lower turnover…by what percentage? Lessen spending? Address office space? Whatever the issue at hand may be, make sure that the group commits to solutions. That is key.
