How to Run an Effective Meeting? 1 Formula = F.A.Q?

2020 was a tough year for many people. My friends found a startup, and I’m one of the team. In the first year of the foundation, we could not have any physical meetings to discuss important matters in an office. We ran all our discussions via virtual meeting platforms. Endless meetings were organized. In the beginning, I thought meetings are so simple that I only need to set up the meeting, everyone enters the meeting room, then we can start the discussion. That’s all. But soon I found that we always ended up with ineffective and draggy meetings. Do you think an ineffective meeting is a small issue? Of course, not! Well, it affects deeply in our effectiveness of carrying out projects, reduces our enthusiasm in doing tasks, and most importantly it impacts our visions. The dissatisfaction with tedious meetings finally brought me 3 main keys to why I couldn’t have an effective meeting.

I believe there are a lot of people same as me, thinking that we don’t need to have any techniques in organizing meetings. However, this is incorrect! We definitely need some. No one likes boring and meaningless meetings, am I right?

Therefore, if you are an entrepreneur, project director, project manager, product manager, or any meeting host, I am sure this is the right post to read so you can run an effective and fruitful meeting.
