My boss said my team meetings were just me talking at people for 45 minutes

He pulled me aside after a meeting last month and said, 'Parker, you're giving a report, not running a meeting.' I switched to a 15 minute stand-up format with a clear list of three things we need to solve, and it's been way better. How do you keep your team meetings from wasting everyone's time?

So did you actually ask people for input on what was working before you made the switch, or did you just assume the stand-up format was the answer?

That 15 minute cap sounds smart. What's your method for picking the three most important things to solve each time?

Why not just solve whatever's bugging you most right then?
