(GM), adsdsf, 9 Proven Tips Which Make You Fail

Hi adsdsf,

How much time do you spend in meetings?

Too much!

How much time do you waste attending
ineffective meetings?

Well you can also have the reputation of
being a failure...

Become the manager who is a failure at
managing meetings or do the opposite and
become the expert...

Meetings have become an inevitable part
of doing business for almost every department
owner.

There are meetings with clients, meetings with
employees and meetings with peers or associates.

Almost everyone has suffered through too many
meetings that take up too much time and accomplish
too little.

In fact, you may find that you yourself have now
become numb to the fact that your meetings aren't
as good as they could be.

And everywhere you look, it seems as if somebody
has another idea about how to fix your meetings,
and make them more focused, more productive,
and - dare I say it? More fun!

So what can you do about it?

Relax and keep reading, because you're about to
find the information that can help you maintain
the status quo - a list of tips and ideas for
meeting planning - the wrong way!

1. Schedule your meetings at bad times - (for
example, how about setting up a "must attend"
meeting late on Friday afternoon?).

2. Make sure your meetings all start late and
run overtime - (and whenever possible,
scheduling meetings when someone is up
against a deadline, or on a tight schedule).

3. Maintain a consistent lack of focus on
what topics will be covered - (don't use an agenda).

4. Ensure there is a poor level of rapport
in the group - (people don't talk to each
other, or they complain, or engage in other
unsuitable behavior).

5. Don't arrive at a decision - (find new ways
to keep covering the same ground, or continue
asking for input rather than creating a plan of
action.)

6. Choose a poor location and environment for
your meetings - (for example, trying to fit 15
people into a closet-sized room that doesn't
have windows or a proper ventilation system.)

7. Schedule meetings to go over routine
topics - (instead of sending a memo or email.)

8. Don't talk to your group, or make your
meetings interactive - (talking "at" them,
lecturing or going off on wild tangents.)

9. Never asking for feedback from participants,
or allowing others to present ideas or get
involved.

There you have it!

Just follow those nine simple tips, and
you're guaranteed to instil fear, loathing
and boredom into even the most intrepid
of meeting participants!

You will be know as the manager who knows
how NOT to manage meetings.
