Summary

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the number of meetings in your day, wondering if they could have just been an email? Today's episode of The ONE Thing Podcast is set to change your perspective on meetings and their true value.

We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Steven Rogelberg, an esteemed organizational psychologist and Chancellor's Professor at UNC Charlotte. His groundbreaking book, "The Surprising Science of Meetings," was hailed as the number one leadership book by the Washington Post. With appearances on CBS This Morning, Freakonomics, NPR, and more, he's a renowned figure in the field of leadership and productivity.

In this episode, Dr. Rogelberg delves into his latest work, "Glad We Met," set for release on January 9th. He brings to light the science behind effective one-on-one meetings, a topic that resonates with many of us who experience 'death by meeting.' This conversation is not just enlightening; it's a practical guide to discerning the value of meetings, enhancing one-on-one interactions, and understanding their critical role in business and team dynamics.

Whether you're leading a team or participating in one-on-one meetings, this episode is a treasure trove of insights for maximizing the effectiveness of your interactions. Don't miss out on this opportunity to transform your meetings and, by extension, your business and team relationships. Let's dive into this insightful and transformative discussion with Dr. Steven Rogelberg.
