I'm following a rule that says the longer the meeting - the less effective it is. Our board meetings take 2 hours - and are a total waste of my time. Customer meetings - I'm keeping to a 30 minutes top. The most effective ones I have are 10 minutes long. 5 minutes chit-chat, 3 minutes business (this is what I do - cool, this is what I need, or vice verse), and 2 minutes goodbyes.
I've searched and couldn't find a reference to such a law on the net (meeting effectiveness is disproportional to its effectiveness). If you do - please post it here.
BTW - the law doesn't apply in government agencies and financial institutions. Or rather - it applies there more than anywhere.
