Insights With Trent Munday

I've noticed something interesting since we've all been working from home. The mini-meeting has disappeared. That quick informal, 'Let's go and have a quick chat about this', meeting to discuss a specific topic. If we're not in the office, those mini-meetings don't happen. Instead, it's all virtual meetings and Zoom calls. And when we have these meetings, we tend to lump lots of other little things into the one meeting. No matter how focussed we are going in, we always end up chatting about other things that aren't related. As a result, the topics that needed to be addressed can get lost a bit. To counter that, we should be making sure each meeting is structured around a specific intent or outcome. Many companies think they're doing that because they have an Agenda and Minutes. But sometimes that's not quite enough. So, structure your meetings around intent, including the intent to just have a general chit chat.  Because those less formal discussions are important too. #zoomfatigue #workfromhome
