Sage advice. Concise. Helpful.
71% of meetings are unproductive. This results in billions of hours lost. Let me help you avoid this. Sharing meeting tips from top entrepreneurs: 1. Elon Musk: Be Super Prepared Ensure thorough preparation for meetings. Be ready to answer any follow-up questions. Maintain high standards and efficiency. 2. Steve Jobs: Keep Meetings Small Limit the number of attendees. Remove unnecessary participants. Enhance simplicity and productivity. 3. Larry Page: Immediate Decision-Making Make decisions without waiting for meetings. Designate a decision-maker for every meeting. Increase agility and reduce delays. 4. Satya Nadella: Long Leadership Meetings Hold extended weekly leadership meetings. Use performance dashboards to align efforts across units. Ensure alignment and coordination among senior leaders. 5. Ben Horowitz: One-to-One Meetings Hold structured one-on-one meetings. Employee sets the agenda; manager listens 90% of the time. Encourage upward communication and idea sharing. 6. Marissa Mayer: Aggressive Vetting Thoroughly vet ideas during meetings. Ask detailed questions about research and methodology. Ensure well-thought-out proposals. 7. Alfred Sloan: Follow-Up Memos Send follow-up memos post-meeting. Summarize discussions, set deadlines, and assign accountability. Ensure clarity and action post-meeting. 8. Sheryl Sandberg: Strict Agendas Use a strict agenda with action items. Cross off items one by one; end the meeting early if the agenda is completed. Keep meetings focused and concise. Remember this advice: Make sure your meetings are never wasted. P.S. What do your meetings look like? ---- 📌 I plan to launch Wild Capital Academy: The top community-powered business scaling program, I will cover strategy, finance, marketing, leadership etc. (sharing my experience from helping 250+ companies). 1000+ leaders are already on the waitlist: Subscribe to my newsletter at to submit your interest.

A good friend, boss and learning coach encouraged me to read a book about the Pareto principle, also known as the 80/20. The concept and research influenced my thinking as a leader working in schools for years thereafter. Thanks Bob H. for your presence throughout the years.
