7
Well, if you look at the popular press, it sure looks that way.
8
here.
9
But is it true?
10
Do people really hate meetings?
11
No. Not really.
12
If you ask people these questions in surveys or in front of other people, they stick to the stock answers.
13
You know, it's cool to hate on meetings in public.
14
Thank you.
15
But, If you change the question, the answer changes.
16
Ask someone, which works better, meetings or lots of email, and they'll pick the meeting.

21
Meetings are an important way we become part of a group. So everyone hates meetings.
22
Yeah, it's a myth.
23
They don't.
24
But that doesn't mean that the reverse is true.
25
It's not all lollipops and puppy dogs in the conference room.
26
There are lots of lousy meetings out there.
27
And that's a real problem because bad meetings can have a serious negative impact on our businesses and our organizations.
28
When you don't run quality meetings, Productivity suffers.
29

30
And employees become disengaged and are more likely to quit.
31

32
Thank you.
33
So, first thing first, we're going to start by making sure every one of your meetings is basically effective.
34
We're going to obey the law of holes here.
35
Now the law of holes says, when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
36
Now I'm going to show you how to spot worthless waste of time meetings
37
that just dig you deeper into that hole and get those dealt with right now.
38
Like right now.
39
Stop digging.
40
Okay, how?
41
Well, I have good news.
42
In a business context, meetings are a tool that help us get work done,
43
and as such, there are really only two qualities that truly matter for long -term meeting success.
44
Just two.
45
So if you stay focused on those two qualities, your meetings will work.
46
Now everything else, all the best practices and the fancy techniques, everything else you'll learn is there so you have some options about how you get it done.
47
So to be effective, a meeting must have high perceived meeting quality or PMQ,
48
and net positive impact or NPI.
49
Perceived meeting quality or PMQ describes how people feel about their meeting.
50
This is all about whether the meeting was a good meeting from the perspective of the people who were there.
51
A meeting with high perceived meeting quality is one where the
52
participants feel like the meeting was a good use of their time.
53
And You know, not just the boss.
54
Not just the one guy who likes to talk a lot, but the majority of the people in the room say that they had their time well spent.
55
So feeling good about a meeting, you know, that's great, but you know, It's not enough to get you out of that hole.
56
You also need net positive impact, which means that the meeting created more value,
57
more energy, more goodwill, more momentum than it cost you to run it.
58
This is the measure of success from the perspective of the business.
59
The business that's paying all of those people to sit in
60
that meeting and expecting that real work will come out as a result.
61
Researchers have looked into this question of PMQ.
62
There was a 2011 study titled "Meeting Design Characteristics
63
and Attendee Perceptions of Staff Team Quality" that tried to figure out which of the common best practices had the biggest impact.
64
And at the end of the day, they basically found that when someone participates in a high quality meeting, they feel the time was well spent.
65
And people feel meetings are high quality when they know what to expect then they have those expectations met.
66
So it's not about having an agenda or, you know, keeping meetings short or any of those things, although they can come in helpful.
67
Instead, It's about having clarity of purpose.
68
So knowing why you're there and what you're meant to be doing together.
69
A basic structure of some kind that gets you there and using your time together with respect.
70
All of this starts with clarity of purpose, that why, which is why we'll talk about that in the very first section.
71
The meeting's purpose lets people know when a meeting is relevant to them.
72
Now this matters because people also need to actively participate to feel like a meeting is worthwhile.
73
They need to engage.
74
So if you have folks in your meeting who are checked out, then there's a good chance that either they don't understand the purpose of
75
that meeting or they don't understand the purpose of that meeting.
76
They don't believe that that's relevant to them personally.
77
And that's got to stop.
78
Okay, so you've got clarity of purpose and the relevant people participating.
79
Now you also need to make sure that the meeting is giving something back, that it's creating something of tangible value for your business.
80
Yeah.
81
The most successful organizations know that meetings aren't interruptions from work or breaks.
82
Meetings are work.
83
You've got to get that value out of that time.
84
So clarity of purpose and a way for people to participate, resulting in tangible outcomes.
85
That's what we're looking for.
86
Now that we've got that baseline established, we can spot the madness and stop the madness.
87
Any meeting you're running right now that lacks those qualities, that doesn't have a clear purpose on you don't know what the outcomes are meant to be.
88
should either be cancelled, or fixed.
89
Also, anyone in those rooms who isn't relevant to the purpose
90
and outcomes and therefore doesn't have a good reason to participate needs to be set free.
91
Now, in this course, I'm going to show you exactly how you make sure your meetings work well.
92
You'll learn the six core competencies for leading and participating in effective meetings.
93
I'll show you how to define the purpose and outcomes for your meetings,
94
and how to create a meeting structure that will make sure you get those results in an engaging, efficient way.
95
I'll teach you about using the time with respect, including when to schedule meetings, how long they should be,
96
and how you can make that time feel like it's flying by.
97
And finally, we'll explore how to take excellent meeting notes
98
that mean you get those results written down where the business can put them to work.
99
But for right now, Right now, You should get started with your first exercise.
100
Exercise 1.
101
Stop digging.
102
So in the downloads, you'll find a meeting readiness checklist.
103
It looks like this. On the next page,
104
you'll find a place to fill out these details for the next three meetings you're leading as best you can.
105
Go ahead and do that next.
106
If you haven't done this before, it might actually be a lot harder than you expect, and that's okay.
107
This is just practice to get you started.
108
Really, no judgment, and I promise it will get easier as we go along.
109
So let's do a quick recap before you get into your assignment.
110

116

117
and they're getting real work done that's of value to the organization.
118

Sobre esta lição
Você está praticando inglês com "Good Meetings, Bad Meetings, and How to Tell the Difference" usando a técnica de Shadowing.
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
