Bad Meetings = Bad Company Culture
If your company runs bad meetings, The Meeting Ref is an easy fix.
There are three types of meetings: Push, Pull and Decision Making. If you don't know which one you're in, you are probably in an complaint session.
The Meeting Ref stops a complaint session from happening by protecting the agenda. (No agenda? Welcome to a complaint session.) This is a very simple concept, but hard to manage when the egos get fired up. However, after one or two reps, the team will know the rules and will play by them.
Are you a small company? Maybe there's just one of you? This still applies, especially with the decision making meeting. Get intentional with your time and watch your business immediately improve.

Get Intentional; Feed the Decision Making Meeting
- Push - This meeting is used to share information. Most of the time, a bulleted email will work. If this isn't a training event, it should probably be eliminated.
- Pull - This meeting is vital to learning what your team needs so they can be supported. Use this meeting to generate a Decision Making Meeting.
- Decision Making - This meeting is used to improve your business. If it is done (reasonably) well, it will deliver amazing results to your organization.
