When to use this template
Meetings. We all have them. Some are really useful, some are a total waste of time. Here’s a simple template you can use at the end of your meetings to get quick feedback on how worthwhile the meeting was. I’ve found this super valuable to get a more honest take on whether/when a meeting needs to change.
If your score goes down consistently or substantially, it means:
Maybe it’s time to change something: the format, attendees, cadence, topics or goals of the meeting Reduce the meeting cadence. Can the weekly meeting be biweekly, so when people do meet the content is more valuable? Can it be a hybrid of async updates and synchronous meeting time? Cancel or recharter the meeting. The most dramatic change is to get rid of the meeting wholesale.
Change is healthy and natural in your meeting goals, structure, and makeup. Don’t be “here because we’re here because we’re here.” If a meeting isn’t useful anymore, change it or get rid of it and free up collective time!
