There are three kinds of meetings…
- Brainstorming meetings where you come up with possible solutions to problems.
- Working meetings where you actually do work.
- Meetings where you discuss a decision and how it should be implemented.
Meetings that don't fit into one of these categories are a waist of time, especially meetings that are called with the purpose of making a decision. The decision, and all the leg work to support it, should be made before the meeting. The meeting organizer should act like a benevolent dictator.
If you have to choose between delaying a decision, and making a possibly wrong decision, error on the latter side. You will be wrong sometimes. That's not as bad as endless delaying for certainty.
