Are nonstop Zoom meetings exhausting your team? Use this quick assessment to fix your videoconferences:
A word of warning, however: I'm going to show you a quick assessment to give your team at the end of every videoconference meeting. If leaders listen to, and act on, the feedback, subsequent videoconference meetings will be great. But if employees' feedback is ignored, not only will meetings not improve, people will be angry. Remember that every question you ask implies a promise you're going to do something with the answer.
A big reason why so many meetings feel inefficient is that those meetings lack a clear objective. That's why we need to use a Statement of Achievement. A Statement of Achievement is literally one sentence that says,"As a result of this meeting, we will have achieved _______." Here are the two most significant benefits of doing this. First, when you force yourself to announce a Statement of Achievement, meetings end, on average, 17 minutes sooner. Second, if you can't come up with a viable purpose for your meeting, and compose a Statement of Achievement that sounds worthwhile, there's no point in having that meeting. And if you want to quickly reduce Zoom burnout, just eliminate any meeting that doesn't have a crystal clear purpose and goal.
Maybe my favorite part of the meeting was when Bob's cat stuck her face in his coffee cup. It was funny, sure, but it's not repeatable, nor is it helpful to me as the team leader.Another rapid way to reduce virtual meeting burnout is to identify the least useful pieces of our videoconferences and stop doing them. Maybe attendees are late or haven't plugged in their headset beforehand. Maybe we spend too much time doing project updates. Maybe we do too much rotating of screen sharing.
