Manager Toolbox from Pollen Podcasts

Tool 1: Running effective meetings

Episode Summary

We’ve all sat in meetings with no clear purpose, frustrated that no decisions are being made. This episode will enable you to chair meetings that leave your team feeling excited instead, making the most of a company’s most valuable resource – people’s energy.

Episode Notes

At Pollen, the team only attends meetings where they give or receive value. Chief Technology Officer, Brad Wright, and Chief Operating Officer, James Beaumont, discuss Pollen’s unique meeting culture, and cover topics such as ensuring meetings are inclusive to everyone, good meeting hygiene, healthy conflict and decision making.
