Three Sentences Meetings:
Set a rule for a specific type of meetings in which each participant may say only three sentences during the entire meeting. This would make people concentrate on the most important messages they feel most strongly about in the meeting. A Three Sentence Meeting would be short and to the point. You should send required data or a list of major issues in advance, thus allowing people to express their major insights, reservations, suggestions and positions in those three sentences.
Three Sentences Meetings are certainly a way to cut the amount of hot air released in a conference room, but if you're sending pre-meeting data and the topic agenda to the group via email, why not simply have everyone hit REPLAY TO ALL and write their three sentences in an email? This way you could avoid another boring meeting altogether.
