Are your meetings boosting your team’s productivity or just eating away at your time?

 

In this episode, I delve into a topic that resonates deeply with every engineering manager out there: meetings. 

 

Often seen as a necessary evil, meetings can either be a productivity powerhouse or a profound time sink. Drawing from insights gathered from our blueprint program, I discuss how critical effective meetings are to an engineering manager's career. 

 

We explore how even a 5% improvement in meeting effectiveness can significantly amplify your impact over time.

 

So press play and let’s chat about mastering your meetings and magnifying your impact!
