【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 會(huì)議，但類似的情景仍然隨時(shí)隨地在不同公司上演。Part of the problem at such meetings is that the leader has not set clear objectives or an agenda, and didn’t assign premeeting preparation tasks. Instead, the leader seems to hope that magic will occur, producing solutions to the problems. Of course, that doesn’t happen.這種會(huì)議的問題部分在于會(huì)議召集人沒有明確的目標(biāo)或議程，也沒有布置好會(huì)前的準(zhǔn)備工作，而是寄希望于奇跡發(fā)生，帶來解決問題的方法。當(dāng)然，奇跡從未發(fā)生。The main reason we don’t make meetings more productive is that we don’t value our time properly. The people who call meetings and those who attend them are not thinking about time as their most valuable resource. But time is the most perishable good in the world. You can’t earn an extra hour to use on a busy day. Nonetheless, we usually have a vague feeling that there is plenty of time—somewhere in the future—so we waste it now and carelessly steal time from our families, friends or ourselves.會(huì)議之所以效率不高，主要是因?yàn)闆]有很好地珍惜時(shí)間。召開和參加會(huì)議的人都沒有將時(shí)間當(dāng)做最寶貴的資源。但時(shí)間是世上最易逝的東西。忙碌的一天中你無法得到額外的一個(gè)小時(shí)來做事。盡管如此，我們還總是依稀覺得未來有大把時(shí)間，故而不珍惜當(dāng)下，漫不經(jīng)心地把家庭、朋友和自己的時(shí)間浪費(fèi)掉。 I used to be the disengaged participant—one who had good ideas about how to solve a problem, but didn’t contribute. I now take a more active role, aiming to make meetings more effective. Here are three simple principles I use. First, whoever calls a meeting should be explicit about its objectives. This means specifying tangible goals and assigning responsibilities. Second, everyone should think carefully about the costs of a meeting: How many participants are really needed? How long should the meeting last? Finally, after meetings, assign credit or blame to the person in charge. If people have records of leading ineffective meetings, they are not allowed to lead future sessions. 過去，我開會(huì)時(shí)參與度不高，對(duì)要解決的問題有好想法卻不說?，F(xiàn)在，我采取更積極的態(tài)度，希望會(huì)議能更有效。我遵循以下三個(gè)簡單的原則。第一，無論誰召集會(huì)議，都必須明確目的。這意味著說明會(huì)議的切實(shí)目標(biāo)并將任務(wù)布置下去。第二，每個(gè)人都要仔細(xì)考慮會(huì)議成本：到底需要幾人參加？要開多久？最后，會(huì)議結(jié)束后，要給會(huì)議負(fù)責(zé)人評(píng)評(píng)分。如果誰有開會(huì)效率低的記錄，那么下次他就不能再擔(dān)任召集人。I know that meetings may serve other functions.
