What is the hardest part about having a work meeting?

by•
I have meetings every day. Preparing materials and assigning members is very hard. What is the hardest part of a work meeting for you? Examples - Being held in an unnecessary meeting? - Setting up a meeting? - The inability of members to focus and participate in meetings?

Ok, for me is to imitate that I'm really interested in what's going on. I've worked in dozens of companies, most of the time on remote — and it was a hell. Guys and girls who are working from the office are connected to each other: while I am not. I'm talking about anything, while seeing them watch the screens of their smartphones. I hated this feeling of being against all of them. Not WITH them, you know? Nowadays I think that the most important part of teamwork are not meetings, but trust and even friendship between colleagues. Yeah, it's hard to gain on remote. But I hope our new product will help 🦄

Poorly set agendas pre meeting and actions not being sent out post meeting. Both are basic but help to avoid most of the pain points of meetings

Unclear actions/next steps decided in the meeting and then having to chase people to do them. We built http://meetric.app/ to fix that - we're in closed beta and looking for beta testers (offering free 90 days account).

FindEmailAddress provides e-mail recognition and authentication as a two-step process, as well as e-mail tracking capabilities that other tools lack. In addition, FindEmailAddress helps you to check for companies and contacts based on the technologies they use, such as an operating system or payment network. This focused emphasis makes it a perfect framework for salespeople and advertisers trying to reach particular consumers of a product or service.

Definitely trying to get your message across when there's not much organization in the meeting.

Having to have to do it over video. I think so many meetings could be over the phone.

handling conflicts when none of us have spent enough time on prior research. It comes down to the ego of the people in the meeting and never fun to see egos clash. A partial solution is to create an environment where all ideas are presented as hypothesis that can welcome criticism and praise and detach personal reputation from them. It's hard to implement in practice. However, a team can certainly work towards it. Thoughts welcome!

Too many people talking and locked in one place !! Prefer the Remo Virtual Office

It's tough to get invited to meetings that could have been an email. Folks ought to master the art of writing a message and sending screen recordings.

I think being in meeting without a clear agenda can be hard! It just sets your meeting up to be inefficient and unfocused.
