PART II HOW TO CONDUCT 25 MINUTE MEETINGS

Meetings are never going to go away completely. When they are good, they are great — the world of work will always revolve around people working with people, so meetings are an important and efficient way to get things done. The answer, then, is to get better at meeting.

It’s the bad meetings we want to disappear.

This is where 25-minute meetings come in. Your path to more useful, mindful and purposeful speedy meetings starts here.

Making the decision to do 25-minute meetings is at the heart of your success with this. From now on, it’s about how we can do meetings better.

In part II, we’ll look at the three steps to 25-minute meetings (shown in figure A).

You’ll learn how to:

  1. set up a collaborative 25-minute meeting
  2. show up to the meeting, ready to cooperate
  3. step up in the meeting to communicate and contribute.

Ready? Let’s begin.

An illustration shows a Venn diagram with the three circles labelled as ‘set up’, ‘show up’ and ‘step up’. It shows the overlapping areas between two circles labelled as:
• Willing: Between set up and show up
• Able: Between Set up and step up as
• Ready: Between Show up and step up
