This is a great paper by Joseph E. Mroz and colleagues on the science of workplace meetings. (short thread 🧵) - this area is absolutely core to @TeacherDevTrust's view on effective school leadership.
They begin by summarising some key findings from three key areas of meeting science.
And then go on with a helpful check-list of factors that promote good meetings.
They note that a good meeting can helpfully include a discussion of difficult areas but complaints that signal that problems are fixed/unmalleable begin 'complaining cycles' that are highly problematic.
They point out the multiple roles and responsibilities of the meeting Chair - a highly skilled role.
You really can't underestimate the importance of this. Meeting quality is directly associated with morale and job satisfaction - good meetings have positive effects and bad ones have negative effects.
