I’ve often said that meetings are like the pigeons in my office – there are too many of them and some of them make me cry. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In this age of remote working, you better believe that running effective meetings is a priority for companies big and small. Everyone has a philosophy for the ideal meeting: \u201cKeep them short\u201d, \u201cEverybody must stand,\u201d etc. Those may work for some, but as you can imagine, I have my own ways of running a meeting. Without further ado, I present you my 10 rules to make sure that meetings are tolerable (to me).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Nobody should be late but me.<\/li>
  2. Don\u2019t feel obliged to let someone finish their sentence.<\/li>
  3. Feel free to zone out periodically, but demand that someone catch you up when you start paying attention again.<\/li>
  4. On video calls, I don\u2019t need to be on mute \u2013 that\u2019s for other people.<\/li>
  5. Can someone bring me an ashtray please?<\/li>
  6. 2 to 3 hour meetings without a break? I\u2019m fine with it, especially if you aren\u2019t.<\/li>
  7. \u201cSorry, I wasn\u2019t listening\u201d is a totally legitimate thing (for me) to say.<\/li>
  8. You have another commitment just after this? Let me improvise a long speech then.<\/li>
  9. I can justify anything, including your disagreement with me.<\/li>
  10. Someone please write a summary of this meeting that I won\u2019t read.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Everyone and their mother has ideas to run better meetings. I suppose that some of these ideas can co-exist, but I\u2019m quite partial to my own. After all, I\u2019ve been running meetings since I was a young executive in my mother\u2019s womb, and I should let you know that the birth went exactly as planned, on time and on schedule, largely because of my 10 rules.
