Meetings Can Be Stressful!

Yep! I do not like frequent, unnecessary and endless meetings. Some
people just get the kicks from looking at peoples' faces and hearing
themselves "think out loud". Makes you wonder..."why have a meeting in
the first place!"

Whenever someone "wants us to meet" I have to know the agenda, what,
why, why now? Do we really need to meet in this technology age? I have
to know all these because I always give my all and don't want to get
drained.

An effective meeting should solve a serious problem or prevent one and
not CREATE one. No one wants to have a meeting where no one even knows
what exactly the issue is...we already discussed that the last time so
why are we here again.

Meetings should not be long and winding and should have their agenda
clearly defined before word goes out to others to attend.

Most managers feel stressed when they feel there's a lot in their
plate and are just simply overwhelmed. Technology has made
communication so easy and convenient so if the purpose of your meeting
is to share some information with your team consider creating an
online group or using an app that can disseminate information to your
team.

You may not need that meeting...
