[ScaleX Bite-Size] Effective Meetings: Why Most Managers Get Them Wrong with Steven G. Rogelberg

Most leaders think they know how to run effective meetings. But according to Steven G. Rogelberg, only around 25% of managers are actually trained to do it. In this clip from the ScaleX Insider podcast, Brendan and Steven explore why meeting effectiveness remains a major leadership blind spot, despite the enormous investment organisations make in meetings through time, salaries and lost opportunity. Steven explains why scaling businesses need to measure what is and isn't working, listen to their people and treat collaboration as a critical business process. Because effective meetings aren't just about saving time. Done well, they can unlock better ideas, strengthen talent retention and help create a more innovative organisation. 00:00 Why leaders overestimate their meeting effectiveness 00:45 Why most managers aren't trained to run meetings 01:30 The organisational blind spots around meetings 02:15 The hidden investment businesses make in meetings 03:00 Why someone needs to own collaboration 04:00 Building the people infrastructure to scale 05:00 How effective meetings support innovation and retention 05:48 Closing Book: The Surprising Science of Meetings by Steven G.
