I am very excited to share that I have tried the request to shorten a few meetings this week, and it was well received! Brilliant! I chuckled at myself while reading this and thought, “Wait? What?You can ask for a shorter meeting?! That’s a thing?!” 🤯 Giving other people the ‘gift of time’ makes me happy. Thanks Loleen
Love this. One thing I've noticed in the past year is that some in charge of meetings are leaving early or joining late, but those with lower status are expected to fill the gaps by working during the meeting. The above tips help for advocacy, but the double standard is fairly obvious.
Great ideas! A somewhat related version of this that I follow is scheduling short meetings in blocks, so I face a penalty for going over time. Not so smart if you have hours of meetings in a row, but good for two or three quick meetings at the end of a day.
