The bigger issue, however, is meetings where little thought has gone into how they’re run. Especially the regularly scheduled meetings, like weekly project updates. It’s easy for those meetings to become such a routine task that we don’t think much about them beforehand, and then we just go through the motions, following the agenda without considering where the team is or what they need. We’ve all been guilty of this. I’m no different. 

It’s almost as if the meeting is for us as leaders, and not the rest of the team, which I don’t think is a good way to run a meeting.
