Bright Ideas By Nathan Friedly episode 8: When to end a meeting.
So I sort-of promoted myself to manger. “Sort-of” as in without the title, pay raise, or authority. Still it’s not that bad. We already made one policy decision: nobody puts their last names on the website anymore. (One of our clients didn’t read our notices and instead opted to look up Charley on yellowpages.com and leave his mom a voicemail. Bad.)
But anyways, I’ve been doing 5-minute-meetings and, with meetings in general, you want to officially end it at or before the time it unofficially ends. And half of the department playing footsie is a good sign that it just unofficially ended.
