Cameron Herold argues meetings aren't the problem, bad meeting skills are. Most employees spend about two hours daily in meetings, costing a $50,000-per-year worker roughly $12,500 annually. Yet 95% of people who run meetings have never been trained, and $12 per employee in training could cut that waste immediately.

A decision that is only $12 per.
Employee but will be priceless for your business. Right now, your gut is telling you that something is wrong with your company's meetings. You know, everyone complains about meetings. People hate going to them, they hate running them, they hate and they really have no idea which meetings are truly necessary.
But they hold meetings simply because they.
Think that is what they should do.
Even some of the smartest CEOs in the world complain about meetings. Elon Musk publicly told employees at Tesla and SpaceX to walk out of meetings.
If they weren't being run properly.
I sent Elon a message saying this.
Wasn'T going to fix anything. The key is to fix the root of the problem, not continue to ignore why meetings suck.

Call, or occasion where two or more.
People meet to discuss or work through office topics.
Most employees, on average, spend one to two hours per day in meetings, and.
Likely none of those employees, frontline staff.
Or leaders have led any training on how to attend meetings or participate in them, let alone how to run them. Consider this if the average employee spends just one hour per day in meetings, that's 1/8 of their time.
If the average employee earns $50,000 per.
Year and they're spending 18 of their time in meetings, that means you're paying $12,500 per year for just one employee to attend meetings.
The reality is, employees spend one eighth.
Of their time and 1/8 of your company's payroll doing something they literally have no idea how to do. The reality is, 95% of employees are booking and leading meetings and they have never been trained on how to run them. And 95% of employees and companies have no idea what meetings are even necessary to hold. 95% of employees have had no training on how to show up and participate in the meetings they attend. Daily meetings can be hugely effective if you know how to run them.
Meetings don't suck. We just suck at running meetings. Investing $12 per employee to help ensure the $50,000 a year you spend on them is an obvious and easy choice. This should be and could be the most impactful $12 you'll ever spend and.
Will save the company's money, time and resources instantly.
