Retired Navy SEAL commander jockowillink says most meetings should be avoided — but if you have to have one, you should replace your agenda with a set of decision points
Jocko Willink spent two decades in the Navy SEALs, including a deployment as the commander of the most highly decorated US special operations unit serving in the Iraq War. But his military career wasn't always filled with excitement. As he rose up the ranks, he had to deal with countless hours of mission planning and bureaucracy.
There are, of course, times when you'll need to bring your team together. Here's Willink's guide to keeping them efficient.Willink gave three pieces of advice for structuring your meetings.When you have people come together in a conference room, you want them engaged with the topics at hand. If you are using your meeting to accomplish tasks that could be more easily done on each team member's own time, you don't need to hold it.
If you're having a meeting with your team and you are all tasked with developing a plan, your team members may have ideas that don't perfectly align with what you had in mind. As a rule, however, you should be willing to let your team members follow their own plan if you are confident it can get the job done, even if you would tweak it slightly, Willink said.
