  “Everyone Knows Meetings Suck. Can We Actually Fix Them?” Steven Rogelberg, author of “The Surprising Science of Meetings” and “Glad We Met: The Art & Science of 1:1 Meetings”

  Jul 21, 202648 min

  How can HR transform meetings into a competitive advantage? Why is the one-on-one the one meeting that leaders should never cancel? My guest on this episode is Steven Rogelberg, author of “The Surprising Science of Meetings” and “Glad We Met: The Art & Science of 1:1 Meetings” During our conversation Steven and I discuss: Why a world without meetings is worse than a world with them Why the person who called the meeting is usually the only one who thinks it went well. Why measurement is the missing piece as engagement surveys almost never ask about meetings. Why framing your agenda as questions to be answered clarifies who to invite, what success looks like, and whether you even need to meet. Why the one-on-one belongs to the employee, not the manager Connecting with Steven Rogelberg: Connect with Steven Rogelberg on LinkedIn Learn more about Steven, his books, and work to make meetings matter Episode Sponsor: Next-Gen HR Accelerator - Learn more about this best-in-class leadership development program for next-gen HR leaders HR Leader’s Blueprint - 18 pages of real-world advice from 100+ HR thought leaders.
