Run meetings like you mean it

Six habits that turn status chaos into crisp decisions. Steal them unapologetically.

  1. 01

    Open with the outcome

    State the decision you want by the end. If there is not one, this might be a message, not a meeting.

  2. 02

    Enforce the two-minute rule

    Updates over two minutes go async. Time is a snack, not a seven-course meal.

  3. 03

    Kill the recap loop

    If it is already written, do not read it aloud. Link it, then decide what happens next.

  4. 04

    Decide owners in the room

    Every action leaves with a single owner and a date. "We" is not a responsible adult.

  5. 05

    Invite like a bouncer

    If someone cannot change the outcome, send the notes instead. Your calendar will thank you.

  6. 06

    Ship decisions, not decks

    Three bullets, an owner, and a move. Momentum is the actual feature.
