That’s right. Leaders who want healthy organizations cannot try to eliminate or reduce time spent in meetings by combining them or cutting them short. Instead, they have to make sure that they are having the right kinds of meetings, and then they must make those meetings effective. As a result—and trust me when I say this—leaders actually come to look forward to their meetings, even enjoy them. In fact, they get real work done during those meetings which makes their lives, and the lives of their employees, better as a result.
