Manage episode 406266673 series 3367300
Your host, Sri Chellappa, talks with the President of Stefanie Krievins & Co, Stefanie Krievins. Stefanie tackled a topic that resonates with many of us: the challenges and inefficiencies of meetings. Stefanie pointed out a critical issue—meetings have become the go-to for decision-making, information gathering, and connecting, yet they often lack a clear purpose.
Stefanie brilliantly addressed the shift in communication dynamics, noting how the simple, spontaneous interactions we once had in person are now scheduled meetings. She didn't shy away from discussing the limitations of virtual meetings, especially when it comes to brainstorming and innovation, underscoring the irreplaceable value of human connection.
To combat the overuse of meetings for information gathering, Stefanie advocated for a structured management cadence that aligns with organizational goals and priorities. She suggested breaking down goals into manageable timelines and leveraging asynchronous communication for status updates, thereby reducing the frequency of meetings.
