Welcome to manager tools. Today's show, the 45 minute meeting. Here we go. I was going to say I hate remembering back to when my corporate life says back to back to

back meetings all the time but it's not like I don't have back to back meetings sometimes

now but yeah

the back to back meetings we're in or on the phone and we finished the next one

and there's no travel time and we start the next one on time right yeah yeah

yeah yeah and it's it's funny because we just we're just talking to

We're just talking to another professional that we were doing business with recently and they were on a meeting that Mark chaired right Mark hosted the meeting and this lawyer said that was the best meeting I have ever been at

you actually we have to get everything we need to do get done and we had time

left over at the end it's like yeah that's yeah

and I said that's what I do it's pretty funny like it's amazing it's just amazing it's

it's magic yeah so let's go back to these back to back meetings because the vast majority

meetings are not professionally run unfortunately right and it is crazy right

and no many executives on back to back meetings all day long.

Yeah, every single meeting runs too long, right?

And so now they're late for the next one.

And it just, this thing happens all day long.

It's even worse.

I actually, I no longer notice when people say back to back meetings.

They don't say that anymore.

It's gotten so bad that back to back meetings means you have two meetings

where one ends and another one begins at the exact same moment,

9 to 10 and then 10 to 11.
