10 Brutal Meeting Rules

 

10 Brutal Meeting Rules (used by the world's top CEOs:)

67% of meetings are considered unproductive. 🚨

We studied thousands of business leaders over the last 20 years.

The most successful leaders follow these secret meeting rules.

Here are 10 rules to transform your meetings today:

1/ Silent reading time
(Jeff Bezos)
↳ Begin meetings with 30 minutes of silent reading
↳ This keeps everyone informed and focused

2/ Walk and talk
(Steve Jobs)
↳ Moving stimulates your brain
↳ Head outside and get creative

3/ No-tech meetings
(Oprah Winfrey)
↳ Phones down, engagement up
↳ Ban devices to ensure full attention and eye contact

4/ Stand-up meetings
(Richard Branson)
↳ Conduct meetings standing up
↳ This keeps them short and efficient

5/ Question-focused approach
(Marissa Mayer)
↳ Structure meetings around specific questions
↳ Remove any vague or irrelevant topics

6/ Two-pizza rule
(Jeff Bezos)
↳ Keep it small
↳ Limit participants to what 2 pizzas can feed

7/ Parking lot method
(Sheryl Sandberg)
↳ Park off-topic ideas for future discussion
↳ This keeps everyone focused

8/ No Powerpoints
