“People are our most important asset.”. “There is no ‘I’ in team.”. “Our talent is our competitive advantage.”. We’ve heard them all, and (ideally) in every company we’ve been lucky enough to work in, the leadership team truly believes each statement. But rarely do I meet the CEO or head of HR who have taken the painstaking (and worthwhile) time to answer the critical questions about the organizational culture they intend to set: WHY should someone work at your company?

There’s good reason most employees and leaders celebrate meeting-free afternoons. Too frequently, meetings lack adequate preparation, which results in a bad use of valuable time. As you develop expertise and rise in seniority, people will seek your input more often, leading to more meetings on your calendar and less time to get work done. While completely eliminating meetings may be nearly impossible, there are ways to reduce the time spent in them and maximize their productivity.
