Stop wasting your team's most valuable resource Meetings. We all sit in too many, and yet we keep running them the same way. This fortnight I want to talk about two things that I think get overlooked: the meetings we're already running badly, and the critical window every new leader has to shape their team's culture before it shapes itself without them. Both are fixable. Both start with intention. — Andy Fieldhouse |

Tip
Turn your agenda items into questions Before your next meeting, rewrite every agenda item as a specific question that requires a decision or input. Instead of 'Project update', write 'What are the three biggest risks to the project timeline and who owns each?' Agenda items describe topics. Questions demand engagement. Try it once and notice the difference in the room. |
