But he must have been, he simply isn’t known for it. Obviously young Alex was incredibly effective at waging war and taking over Europe as that’s what he’s known for these thousands of years later. But as human nature organises meetings we must assume too much of his day was spent watching PowerPoint presentations from his Generals. What is the objective of the meeting?

Imagine if Norgay saw the subject “Everest” and decided that the meeting wasn’t worth attending; after all, he knew the mountain better than any New Zealander ever would. But that’s what happens to all of us in today’s modern office. Take note of my notes on note takingPosted April 10th, 2010 by RickMeashamI have explored various methods for note taking over the years. The traditional method (write as much as you can) just tends to distract you from being the best you can be in the meeting and gives you very little benefit later. You’re probably better off just recording the meeting on your iPod. The Manager-Tools Holy Trinity: One on OnesPosted August 3rd, 2009 by RickMeashamI was recently sent an invite to a meeting from further up the chain of command. I declined the meeting and asked that it be rescheduled. I explained that I couldn’t be there because I was going to be meeting with one of my team. Meeting with each person my team, individually, has become the most important meeting I have each week. |
