Short meetings force teams to focus on what matters most. Start by defining a clear agenda and time limit for each topic. Use timers to keep discussions on track and assign someone to facilitate the meeting. Encourage participants to prepare in advance and avoid unnecessary introductions. Conclude with a quick summary and clear action items. Shorter meetings respect everyone’s time and increase productivity across the organization.
