I have a meeting every morning for just a few minutes. That way I know what each person says they accomplished the prior day, and I line up our workday. We talk over who is going to do what -- and how. We go over their materials list to make sure they have what they need for their assigned jobs. My white-board, where I record all of this, is legionary around here. After a job hits my list, it must be "done-done" before I erase it. That way I don't have a bunch of half-completed jobs hanging around. Also, I know how much actual work each person is accomplishing. It's a point of pride for everyone when I erase a big project off of the board. This tracking system makes my life simpler.meetings can be amazing. I host a 5-15 minute meeting every day with my employees.
I know that is my chance to lay out policies and address issues. They know that is their chance to bring up anything that concerns them.
We also hold a 1 hour meeting each week to go over goals and milestones and discuss progress for the week.
After that no more meetings. People like to use meetings to escape shitty jobs and avoid boring work that doesn’t drive them. Shitty, inefficient meetings are a symptom of a bigger issue in the organization.
