I started scheduling any meeting I ran for 25 minutes instead of the expected and default 60.
I told everyone at the start of each meeting that I aimed to finish in 20 mins and 5 mins was a buffer.
This leads to relentless
- don't discuss anything that is not relevant to every single person in the room
- limit the amount of "brainstorming" etc
I'm still not 100% sure that I'm not skipping Important Things somehow (especially when I see marketing have 3-4 hour long "syncs" with different sub-groups in a row, but I feel like we get enough done, often in as little as 10 mins.
Next step - persuade the others to give it a go.
