How to get out of meetings
In today’s world it seems impossible to get through the day without being called into a meeting. But while there are many meetings where it is crucial to attend, there are just as many others that are going to be a waste of time. So how can you get out of them without looking like you’re not a team player?
First in, first out approach,
When you receive an agenda for a meeting, respond by saying you’ll be there but also ask to meet with the manager a few minutes before the meeting starts to share your insights as you won’t be able to stay for the whole meeting.
Start late, then leave a note approach.
Arrive exactly on time and if the meeting host hasn’t arrived by five minutes past the start time – and you haven’t heard from them – then leave a note such as ‘It’s Bill. Assume the meeting got cancelled. Nobody here. 10.05am.’”
Free meeting Fridays
With this approach you schedule in every Friday as being a day when you’re unavailable for meetings.
