“Every time you start the meeting for two hours, the phone’s power is not enough.”
Editor’s note: This article is from WeChat public account “Human Resources Sharing Exchange” (ID: hrgogogo), author HRGO.
Every team should meet on average every day and should not exceed one hour.
Neither a healthy company should organize a team meeting at night. In special circumstances, if a team is always on a meeting or on a meeting, then who will do the performance, who will solve the problem? ?
In the near future, Xiaohui saw a popular post on the Internet saying: #The company that uses four hours for each meeting, should you choose to leave? #
After the topic came out, netizens expressed their resonation. Some netizens even said: “Every time you start a meeting for two hours, the power of the mobile phone is not enough.”
Although the nature of the meeting is an efficient and cost-effective way of communicating, many conferences now become a waste of formalism that costs everyone the most time.
Even some people, some companies, don’t know what to do if they don’t have a meeting.
01
Recently, a new word is popular on the Internet, called [Bumper Car]
Meaning: You often encounter such a kind of person in your work. If you don’t do anything in a day, you will know that the person touches it and opens a meeting.
A meeting will meet?
Looking for a meeting room?
Do you have time, can I touch it?
We will meet later, then look at this?
We didn’t touch it in a week, we have to touch it this afternoon!
… …
In the morning, I touched the afternoon and touched it in the afternoon. I knew that I was in a meeting. I didn’t know that I was driving. Therefore, people in the rivers and lakes call it a “bumper car.”
There are still some companies that like to have meetings at night, project meetings, planning meetings, coordination meetings, summing up meetings… But for meetings, working hours are never open, and people in the rivers and lakes call it “night clubs”!
You can see that many companies are happy, take the evening and rest day as a normal, as a team has combat performance. In fact, the taste of such a team has changed a lot.
Some meetings, which are drowsy all the time, have evolved into a shabu-shabu. Everyone on the surface of the meeting discussed the issue of cooperation, but in fact it was to show their own insights and desperately pull others.
Even after the meeting, your colleague may come to ask you: Hey, what is my mission? So, you have a small meeting with him.
In short, whether you admit that you don’t admit it, most of the meetings are not fulfilling the purpose, low quality, especially impossible to reduce the workload, or even help.
The worst management I have ever seen is to keep meeting.

A meeting is a fatal injury to someone who has a bad waist.
Sit there, whether it is or not, sitting for two hours, can solve the problem and accept it, the most fear is to open to the end, not even a conclusion.
A meeting without conclusions is a waste of life.
An HR revealed to us that at Huawei, there are often meetings, and there are always more than two hours of meetings. From time to time, the phrase “Welcome to join the conference!”
But the difference is that everyone who steps into the meeting room has to ask himself two questions from the soul: “Does this meeting really need me to participate?”, “I really need a topic to discuss for so long. ?”
In contrast to these two questions, you will find that many meetings are not necessary and there is no need to participate.
The purpose of the meeting is to hope that everyone can solve problems face to face, rather than creating more boring questions.

We have participated in many meetings, and we often have such findings. The meeting scene is often decided and not decided. If the problem is not solved, everyone complains.It is HR “There is a problem with execution.”
But I want to ask: Everyone did not reach a real consensus at the meeting, nor did they assess the size of the consensus. If you can’t move, what is wrong with it?
There is no consensus, it is the root cause of poor execution.
A meeting is a way of transmitting information.
The efficiency of two people working together is three times that of two people who are independent. The group discussion of three to five people can generally achieve the best results. Until a critical point, increasing the number of people no longer brings incremental effects, but it begins to affect efficiency.
Economically, this is the law of diminishing marginal benefits.
In the process of communication, whether the information is smooth and valuable is directly related to the collaboration of the entire team and the development of the company’s business.
Why do we feel that the entrepreneurial small company has a good atmosphere and high efficiency, and the big companies have more obstacles to information transmission due to the establishment of departments, levels, and organizational structures, and even encourage the “in the room” without knowing it. “Elephant”, the information transmission mechanism has gradually become one-way, slow, top-down.
To counter this kind of meeting, you can try these new ways:
1. PPT is not allowed in meetings: unless it is to demonstrate important content
2. Stand as far as possible: Let the time of the meeting be gradually shortened
3. Summary classification idea: Let everyone write the idea, write it right away, say it after class, and then vote for each order, thus eliminating the trouble of persuasion.
4. Keep clarifying the focus of the meeting:
In the meeting, there are usually only three things to discuss:
1 What did I complete yesterday?
2 What am I going to do today?
3 What resistance did you encounter during your work?
5. Minimize the number of meetings in a meeting: It is not important to have more people, and there are not many important people. It can be said that this is an invisible law of a meeting.
About the meeting, I believe that you also have a lot of words to vomit,
