Effective Meetings: The Science of Making Every Meeting Count with Steven G. Rogelberg

Most leaders accept bad meetings as the cost of doing business. Steven G. Rogelberg says they don't have to.

In this episode of the ScaleX Insider podcast, Brendan sits down with the internationally recognised organisational psychologist, meeting scientist and bestselling author of The Surprising Science of Meetings to explore the science behind effective meetings and why the way we meet can either accelerate a scaling business or quietly drain its time, talent and performance. They break down why agendas should be framed as questions, how to decide who really needs to be in the room, and why becoming a better steward of people's time can give your business a competitive advantage. .
