Endless meetings can be exhausting — but what if they could actually be productive and meaningful? Kim and Amy talk with Dr. Steven Rogelberg, author of Glad We Met and The Surprising Science of Meetings, about how to run effective meetings and make every minute count — especially during one-on-one meetings. Steven shares research-backed tips for running better meetings, from framing agendas as questions to setting clear meeting norms that invite everyone’s voice. He explains why one-on-one meetings are the most important conversations managers can have, how they build trust, strengthen relationships, and boost team performance, and why they should never be replaced by an email. If you’re ready to spend less time in unproductive meetings and more time having conversations that count, this episode offers helpful guidance on meeting best practices, better collaboration, and creating space for real connection.Get all of the show notes at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RadicalCandor.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Episode Links:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Transcript Steven Rogelberg We Asked a Meeting Scientist How to Make Meetings Better — Here's What He Said 7 Ways To Improve One-on-One Meetings | Radical Candor Effective 3 Tips For How To Run Effective Staff Meetings | Radical Candor Glad we Met: The Art and Science of The Surprising Science of Meetings — Steven Rogelberg, Ph.D. Meet Like A Boss — The 411 On Making Meetings Suck Less: Advice From Dr. Steven Rogelberg  Connect: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chapters:(Kim and Amy introduce guest Dr. Steven Rogelberg, organizational psychologist and an expert on meetings.(The global volume of meetings and the underestimated economic impact.(Misconceptions about meetings and advice on improving their effectiveness.(How to ensure that the meeting agenda questions are valuable.(Whether feedback should be solicited at the end of meetings.(Advice on encouraging team members to speak up in meetings.(Research that highlights the desire for more one-on-one meetings.(The importance of building relationships in one-on-one meetings.(Tips on starting, structuring, and scheduling one-on-one meetings.(How the location and questions of a one-on-one send powerful signals.(Optimizing schedules by spacing out one-on-ones and time blocking.(How direct reports can prepare for meetings with their managers.(Learn more about your ad choices.
