In life, we always hear about people who've made huge decisions from their gut - without data.Today, I want you to make a decision not only from your gut, but also from some data. A decision that is only $12 per employee but will be priceless for your business.Right now, your gut is telling you something is wrong with your company's meetings. You KNOW everyone complains about meetings.People HATE going to them, they HATE running them, 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 & SpaceX to walk out of meetings if they weren't being run properly.I sent Elon a message saying that wasn't going to fix anything - the key is to fix the root of the problem - NOT continue to ignore why meetings suck.A Meeting is - Any phone call, video call or occasion where 2 or more people meet to discuss or work-through office topics.Most employees on average spend 1-2 hours per day in meetings.And likely, none of those employees - front-line staff or leaders - have had 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 1 Hour per day in meetings - that's 1/8th of their time.If the Average employee earns $50,000 per year.And they're spending 1/8th of their time in meetings, that means you're paying $6,250 dollars per year for just ONE employee to attend meetings.The reality is, employees spend 1/8th of their time - and 1/8th of your company's payroll - doing something they have literally NO idea how to do.The Reality is...95% of employees are booking & leading meetings - and they have NEVER been trained on how to run them.95% of employees have had NO training on how to show up and participate in the meetings they attend daily.And 95% of employees and companies have no idea what meetings are even necessary to hold.Meetings CAN be hugely effective - IF you know how to run themMeetings don't SUCK, we just SUCK at running meetings. Investing $15 per employee - to help ensure the $50,000 a year you spend on them is an obvious and easy choice.This could be the most impactful $15 you'll ever spend and will save the company's money, time and resources instantly.Buying a copy of Meetings Suck for 100% of your employees and having them read it this month will have huge impact on your company's success.
