A recent podcast from Laura Vanderkam talked about leveraging meetings for accountability.
The concept was to review the action steps at the end of the meeting.
This increases the likelihood that you will complete the task you are supposed to.
My Perspective
This suddenly made so many things so clear.
According to Gretchen Rubin’s four tendencies, 41% of the population are obligers.
Holding meetings is a great way to give obligers the outer accountability they need to get things done.
However, is there another way?
How could we increase accountability without increasing meetings?
Maybe an online group.
Daily deliverables into a portal.
While the solution may not be obvious, by identifying the problem change can begin.
Your Turn
Do you have too many meetings?
Would the assignment review at the end help your team?
What ideas do you have to eliminate a meeting altogether?
