Why you need Uncommon Meetings

Wasteful meetings are a universal complaint across organizations of every kind. Furthermore:

Managers and knowledge workers spend 25 - 80 % of their time in meetings.
Many executives spend their entire days in meetings and can't start their own work until 6:00 PM.
Employees at all levels complain that meetings chop up the day and prevent them from completing their work and doing important deep thinking.

71 % of executives say meetings are unproductive and inefficient.
If your employees average 25 % of their time in meetings, that means 25 % of your workforce is effectively employed strictly to attend meetings.
And these complaints and statistics never seem to subside despite billions spent to improve meetings.

It doesn't have to be this way!
All those meeting improvement programs have been barking up the wrong tree! Uncommon Meetings has better answers.
