Useless Meetings

16 09 2008

Every meeting should end with everyone involved having at least one of three things happen:

1. They leave with an action item (something they have to do).

2. They leave with information they did not have before.

3. They provide information that others in the meeting previously did not possess.

If any attendee does not find themselves achieving one of these three items then it is a useless meeting for them. Always.
