Steven Rogelberg, a professor at UNC Charlotte, has spent decades researching
workplace meetings and reports that many of them are a waste of time. Why?
Because the vast majority of managers aren't trained in or reviewed on
effective meeting management. He explains how leaders can improve meetings --
for example, by welcoming attendees as if they were party guests or banning
use of the mute button on conference calls -- and how organizations can
support these efforts with better practices and policies, from creating
meeting-free days to appointing a Chief Meeting Officer. Rogelberg is the
author of the book "The Surprising Science of Meetings: How You Can Lead Your
Team to Peak Performance" and the HBR article "Why Your Meetings Stink -- And
What To Do About It."
