BEST QUOTES “For a lot of organizations, meetings are a blessing and a curse."

"Bad meetings lead to bad decisions."

"The format, purpose, and timing of those meetings is vital."

"You don't need to buy a summary of any of his books because the latter half is the summary."

"A daily check-in meeting is really about what's going on today."

"When it comes to our weekly tactical meetings, we typically will mix the daily check-in with the tactical because we've suffered from meeting drift."

"Having an agenda for every single meeting is important."

"Quarterly audit your weekly meetings to see if they still align with your original purpose."

"Don't table everything for a staff retreat."

"You need to have an agenda for your meeting because everyone that is walking into the meeting has their own agenda."

"Paying attention to what the meeting is, what type of meeting it is, and having that clear expectation set will mean you will be able to move from painful meetings to productive meetings." RECOMMENDED RESOURCES Lifeway Leadership Podcast Network
