A 22 minute meeting is designed to prevent inefficient meetings and keep people focused. It involves scheduling a short 22 minute meeting, having an agenda focused on goals, distributing required reading 3 days before, starting on time, standing up with no laptops or phones except for the presenter and note taker, focusing all comments on the topic, and sending notes and action items ASAP after the meeting. This type of meeting is good for team meetings, staff meetings, status meetings, planning meetings, decision focused meetings, review meetings, informational meetings, and meetings about meetings.
