Meeting End Time is Important
Avoid having meetings with too many participants and too frequently. It's okay to leave in the middle if you have nothing to contribute. The real rudeness is wasting other people's time.
- Start with (shared) casual conversation to create a positive atmosphere
- Need opening agenda and closing remarks
- Share meeting minutes before and after
- Share understanding between what I know and what you know
- Keep discussions short and focused
Try not to get caught up in or mention unimportant details (easy conversations can be had after the meeting)
Prevent misunderstandings by preparing briefing materials in advance for others to review
There are times when laptops are necessary and times when they just cause distractions
Beyond skills and experience, it's about connecting with people - approaching meetings with sincerity leads to friendships
Rules
- All meetings, whether brainstorming or seminars, need a leader and clear purpose and structure
- Only hold meetings with essential participants and keep attendance under 8 people
- Strictly adhere to time constraints and ensure everyone is fully present in the meeting

10. "문제는 일이 아니야. 사람이지."
반짝이는 신입으로 살아남는 커뮤니케이션 방법 | (*커뮤니케이션 팁 여섯 가지는 글 후반에 있으니, 참고하기.) "어디 보자. 오늘은 치프 빼고 재키랑만 체크인이 있네. 휴우, 그래. 괜찮을 거야." 처음으로 사수님인 재키와 단 둘이 브리핑 시간(체크인)을 갖는 날이었다. 설렘 반, 긴장 반의 표정으로 컴퓨터 앞에 앉았다. 화상 통화 창이 열린 컴퓨터 화면 너머로 곧 재키의 모습이 보였다.

Meetings for an effective eng organization.
Some engineers develop a strong point of view that meetings are a waste of their time. There's good reason for that perspective, as many meetings are quite bad, but it's also a bit myopic: meetings can also be an exceptionally valuable part of a well-run organization.
