Description

In this episode of Master Stress with Dr. S, we delve into the impact of poorly organized meetings on your team’s productivity and mental clarity. Dr. S shares a personal story highlighting the cognitive and emotional toll of ineffective meetings. He emphasizes that inefficient meetings not only waste time but also deplete focus and trust within a team. Dr. S outlines a gold standard for brain-friendly meetings: they should be purpose-driven, short, and selective with a focus on clear outcomes and decision-making. This episode encourages leaders to audit and redesign their meeting structures to ensure they are enhancing rather than draining team energy and productivity.
