Meeting that run late drive me absolutely CRAZY! Part of the problem often lies in the fact that meetings rarely, if ever, start on time. This blogger has come up with some real ways to get meetings started on time. My personal favorite:
Only have meetings that matter . If you had a meeting called “Lets discuss how awesome you are and how we can triple your salary” people will arrive right on time - the concept of a meeting isn’t bad, it’s what you fill it with that matters. If everyone is always late they’re telling you: this meeting is not important. Either learn how to make the meeting worthy of their time or don’t have the meeting. Ask for opinions at perennially late or poorly attended meetings: why does this meeting suck? How can this be more useful? Is there a better way to |insert why you think you need a meeting here|?
