PMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon says meetings hold back a company — but if they have to happen, there are certain strategies leaders should follow to maximize productivity.
In his annual letter to shareholders released on Monday, Dimon stated CEOs should “kill meetings” because they are an “example of what slows us down.” If meetings happen, they should start and end on time, the JPMorgan CEO wrote, and a set person should lead them.
Dimon also stated that meetings should “always” start with a set purpose and end with a follow-up list of points to consider moving forward. Only people who need to be at the meeting should attend.
