The Meeting Standard: A No-Nonsense System for Running Meetings That Don't Waste Everyone's Time

Most meetings accomplish nothing. Not because the people are bad at their jobs - because no one was ever taught how to run one. The Meeting Standard gives managers and team leads a practical, no-nonsense system for designing and running meetings that produce decisions, not just conversation. Jon Edwards, M.Ed., combines his background in instructional design and operations management to deliver a meeting framework built for real work environments where time is scarce and outcomes matter. What you will learn: How to determine whether a meeting should exist at all. A meeting design framework that connects agenda items to decisions. How to run the meeting so it ends with owners and next steps. Techniques for handling common failure modes: dominators, tangents, no-shows, and endless back-and-forth. How to build a meeting culture across your team that doesn't require policing. Part of The Professional Standards Series - direct, practitioner-tested frameworks with no filler.
