Five Ways to Run Better Virtual Meetings - Keith Ferrazzi - Harvard Business Review

Five great advises to get virtual meetings running smoother. All of us who have been holding a lot of webinars, conference calls and online collaboration sessions can appreciate those:

  1. Use video: Yes, you cannot hide !
  2. Do a "Take 5": 5 minutes everyone has to talk. No lurking !
  3. Assign different tasks: It's a meeting - assign responsibilities
  4. Forbid the use of the "mute" function: YES YES YES. Nothing fails more than a good joke and nobody laughs :-)
  5. Penalize multitaskers. Again, its a meeting. Unless it is for informational purposes only - pay attention !
