How to End Meetings That Make You Lose Your Mind and Shirt
This story reveals how a small business owner named Lee Benson built his business from scratch and sold the company for millions. The primary way Lee did this was inventing a way to end meetings that suck.
There is much more to this story than how Lee found a way to end the insanity of meetings gone terribly wrong. But the biggest nugget of wisdom I’ve learned getting to know Lee is the solution he developed for improving focus, communication, and financial results through better meeting management.
If you know Lee you know what an anomaly he is as a leader. Lee is special because he did what most mortals will never do; he started a business from scratch and exited big.
The High Cost of Meeting Insanity
Most of us agree meetings suck the life out of us. But the personal cost to us as participants is not what most leaders really care about unless you’re like Lee. What most of us don’t know is the high cost of lame meetings. Lee and his team can teach us why.
- 220,000,000 meetings are held in U.S. businesses each year, making the data even more appalling.
- Meetings compose 15% of the teams’ collective time.
- Executives consider 67% of meetings a failure.
