Effective Meetings

Your calendar’s full.
But nothing moves forward.

That’s not a productivity issue.
That’s a meeting issue.

Look, meetings are supposed to create alignment.
Most just create inertia.

Here’s what I’ve seen from teams that actually win:

Good meetings feel sharp.
Bad ones feel like déjà vu.

So how do you run the first kind?

Try this:

1. 2-Pizza Rule > If two pizzas can’t feed the room, it’s too big.

2. POP > Purpose. Outcome. Process. No POP? Cancel it.

3. Strict Agenda > Send it. Follow it. End it.

4. Round Robin > Everyone speaks. No passengers.

5. Follow-Ups > If nobody owns next steps, it never happened.

6. Async First > Status updates = email, not Zoom.

These aren’t hacks.
They’re culture.

Because the point isn’t more meetings.
It’s momentum.

Save this before your next team sync.
And tell me, what’s the meeting habit your team refuses to drop?
