Preparation

Most meetings suffer because typically only one person arrives (somewhat) prepared. Everyone else is reacting spontaneously to what's discussed, rather than contributing thoughtfully.

Decision Making

Without proper preparation, decision-making quality suffers, conversations drag on, and critical issues remain unresolved—often postponed to future meetings. Productivity declines as valuable time is lost in prolonged discussions rather than decisive action.

Time

Leaders often say, “I'm in back-to-back meetings—I don’t have time to prepare!” But the real issue isn't lack of time; it's that most leaders haven't learned an effective way to prepare quickly and thoroughly.
