Do you have Meeting sickness?
Any of these symptoms sound familiar?
- Do you have too many meetings and video conferences?
- Do you spend more time in meetings and video conferences than doing your actual work?
- Are many of your meetings unproductive?
- How often in meetings do you think "I don't need to be here."
- Do you often work on other things while you're in a meeting?
- Do complicated topics sometimes not receive the necessary consideration due to lack of time?
- Do the collaborative platforms and other communication systems you use overwhelm you with the amount of information?
- Do the same people always dominate discussions?
- Do you have to raise your voice to be heard because everyone is talking at the same time?
These are examples (and there are many more!) of very common problems related to meetings, and their effects can be devastating on productivity and effectiveness.
