Omg I’m glad I watched this video and there are sensible people out there and that you’re preaching this… fucking death by meetings….
I just became a manager last month and I was thinking about how I was going to structure meetings for my team and the other departments within our company. This video couldn't have come at a better time and it made me realize we should be triggering a meeting because of an action or update, not because it's "time" to have one. Looking forward to the next long form video!
Loved this and the longer videos. I want to be a manager one day and it's great for me to learn this from such a seasoned veteran. Keep up the great work Chris!
Thank you. Much much more coming here. I'm loving the longer format.
I'm going to be releasing a series of courses here too as well. Stay tuned!
My manager has a weekly team meeting. Lasts 30-45min and rarely has anything new or really worth discussing that couldn't simply be posted in our message app. Also used to have weekly 1-on-1s and cut that down to bi-weekly, but I'd be fine with having it monthly. It all just uses up a lot of time. As you mention, instead of relying on team meetings, we should rely on the systems we already have in place. I'd be fine with a monthly meeting where we cover things that has occurred over the month or just as a way to stay connected. Every week is too much.
This is what I keep telling my boss on our all staff weekly team meeting, of which content can be easily shared via share drive. My boss said all staff meeting helps improve team building. It will not unless every member takes ownership on their job and gets it done correctly and timely with or without regular meeting. Some people like to call up others for meetings all the time without having specific agenda to make them look very busy so they can get good performance appraisal. They are stealing other people’s time to earn their own credit. I hate those selfish people.
Man, fucking upper management… trying to justify their existence with pointless, tick-a-box meetings
Cheers to all the managers watching this 🥂
hello form Thailand
like to tell you that i love this content and it very inspiring
i will try use this way and share you the update
please continue doing good topics like this🎉🎉🎉
Thank you. Much more coming
Someone calling a meeting "tomorrow at 9am" sounds horrible too 🙂
What do you think about always-on-collaboration-tools like discord to replace 3-times-a-week-standups?
Love them. There are a lot of ways to avoid it. Discord, slack, always on Zooms, are some real-time examples.
But you can also just use your project management tool to serve the purpose. "Everyone update their status by 10am each day". Then when anyone wants to know what's going on, they know the info is clear and accurate as of 10am. Better, say "update whenever there's a change". Finish a piece, spend 30 secs and update your status. Run into a problem, spend 30 secs and update your status. Done and looking for someone to help, look at the status updates.
So many better ways than to waste literally hours of everyone's time going around the room.
Well, my team do a regularly scheduled 'whoever is online' meeting. If you're online hop in, if you're not, if you had to go to the bathroom, had another call to make... Okay, see you later. Daily this is useful for addressing who is going to need a landing hand from who... We also have a whole department meeting every week, I dread how many hours of my life have been wasted hearing the same status update from the week before, for a project I'm not involved in...
Sounds like this could be handled with a good status tool and on-demand meetings.
i had a job where it was on avg 35-40 meetings a week(not a typo), complete waste of time, including two meetings a week with all of the analysts and leadership which was 25-30 people , a weekly team meeting and a one on one as well
So exhausting, and SO expensive.
How about corporate or divisions all hands meeting? Usually quarterly but such meetings also usually are not at a right time globally.
I have a short video on "all hands" meetings. But my feeling is, the same for them as well. On the clock like quarterly or annually is wrong. They should be done for milestones. When the milestone occurs.
Maybe that's to celebrate the annual results, but I prefer real milestones: the release of a major product, the acquisition of a huge new client, etc.
@@CLWill The other regular activity, yearly performance review or appraisal is something I find it becoming more demotivating after working for 2.decades.
What if you run committees or communities of practice? Things that are necessary to continue running an enterprise, but not emergent enough to warrant an ad-hoc meeting. Also regularly scheduled so it limits the impact to on-going work and people know what to expect at a certain tme
What is the topic of those meetings? Status updates? Use a tool.
Omg, the costo of two global weekly meetings with all the employees…that thing really is sucking my company’s money
It's soul sucking, and expensive soul sucking at that :)

Hey! When is the "running a meeting" video coming! thanks so much
It's next in the queue.!
@@CLWill how awesome. Thank you for sharing your content. Sometimes in a leadership position there is not always a lot of good advice floating around or a lot of willingness for others to take a step back and share such great bits of info like you do.
I will absolutely never give up our weekly catch-up. 10 people shooting the shit, connecting, sharing, debating. Money well spent. You’re just a bad leader if you can’t get value out of getting people together.
I''d love to hear confidential feedback from each of those 10 on the value of that meeting. I would bet that you and four or five others have a blast, and the others would rather be anywhere else.
Why do I say that? Because I've done it. I've asked teams, one-on-one, with no fear or concerns that it would get back to the manager. And that's what I hear every time.
Did you apply this on some company? I agree with the concept but thinking this "we are going to discuss this issue tomorrow at 9, be there if you care" demand a huge maturity from everybody
Many companies do some/all of this kind of thing.
Demanding "huge maturity" is the actual point. Treat people like adults.
Set strong expectations, and make those clear. Reward people who do the right thing. Who participate.
Make the consequences of _not_ showing up when it did matter real. "Sorry, you should have brought that up when we asked for input."
When someone isn't "mature" tell them. Set the expectations, you'd be surprised at how many people can meet them.
