About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of effective meeting management and the role of the meeting chair in preventing meetings from derailing.

Most meetings don't fail because of bad intentions — they fail because no one steps in when things go sideways. Every meeting needs a chair whose job is to protect both the outcome and the experience of getting there. Knowing what to do when a meeting goes sideways is half the battle — the other half is actually doing it.
