Entrepreneur and creator Codie Sanchez has an 'intense' approach to meetings. These are her 3 rules.
The founder of Contrarian Thinking and author of the new book "Own or Be Owned" encourages people to leave a meeting at any time.
Codie Sanchez, CEO of Contrarian Thinking, advocates for an intense approach to meetings in her company. Sanchez, an ex-Wall Streeter and founder of Contrarian Thinking, shares three rules for effective meetings in her new book, "Own or Be Owned: Build a Business So Good It Doesn't Need You."
Firstly, Sanchez allows team members to leave meetings at any time if they feel they are not needed. This practice aims to maximize efficiency, as the company is not large enough for redundant presence. Secondly, she emphasizes prioritizing agenda items during meetings, often questioning whether certain topics are truly necessary and seeking to sideline less relevant discussions.
Finally, Sanchez advocates for working in a way that best suits individuals' productivity, including scheduling no meetings before 10 a.m. to protect her most creative and focused morning hours. By implementing these rules, Sanchez believes businesses can run more efficiently without constant oversight.
