So far I have gone through a xillion of meetings are frankly I belive 70% were waste of time. However, One interesting fact is that by applying Socratic method of question and answer we could have accomplished much better in these meetings. Here is some intro into Socratic method and analysis that will be helpful in Meetings. No one ever mentioned this to me. I found the reference in some harverd Communication reviews. Any other ideas into productive meetings will be haelpful.
