An estimated 55 million meetings occur in the U.S. workplace every day. And studies show that 90% of meeting attendees daydream during the meetings. What a waste of time and energy!
Dr. Steven Rogelberg has come to the rescue. He’s an organizational psychologist whose pioneering research on meetings has been lauded around the globe and featured by top media outlets. His counsel is sought by many Fortune 100 firms and even the UN. He’s even testified before the U.S. Congress, a place not necessarily known for effective use of time.
Steven’s research shows that a lack of self-awareness is one reason many leaders fail to run effective meetings. He explains what they can do to become more aware of what’s working, what’s not working, and how they can improve their meeting practices.
