Description
Twelve people in an hour meeting costs twelve hours. Did you get twelve hours of value? That hour-long meeting with twelve people did not cost one hour. It cost twelve hours of collective productivity, plus the mental reset time afterward, plus the decisions that got delayed. Most organizations have no idea how much they spend on meetings because they never do the math.This book introduces the meeting meter, a framework for calculating the real cost of every calendar entry. You will learn to quantify attendee salaries per minute, factor in opportunity costs, and finally answer the question your finance team never asks: what is the return on investment for this meeting?The Meeting Meter goes beyond diagnosis to treatment. You will discover which meetings can become emails, which can lose half their attendees, and which should never have existed. In a corporate world addicted to busy calendars, this book is the intervention that pays for itself in the first week.
