Get more action out of your remote team meetings

6 hours or more behind the cam per day is not an exception for some leaders. How to cope with such an overload of online meetings? How to get actions done, and followed-up, and planned?

Here’s how:

Summarized

1) Beware the calendar. Add extra time for meeting preparation and meeting follow-up, because that is what is needed to get meetings into action.

2) Be more explicit during the meeting about what has been agreed on. Write a little conclusion note right away and share it with the other participants.

3) Allocate clear tasks with clear milestones. Write them down with the meeting report, so as not to lose the connection with the reasons why of the decision.

4) After the meeting, plan the tasks in your calendar as part of the work time, besides meeting time and holidays. Follow-up on everyones tasks.
