Rather than watch your boss trudge off to an endless schedule of meetings, here are things you can do to help make the most of them.

1) When someone calls to schedule a meeting for your boss, ask for the agenda. If there is no agenda, check if your boss wants to attend. Lack of an agenda is the number one cause of bad meetings. Ideally, your boss would insist on having an agenda because time is money. For example, I doubt that your boss signs blank checks.

If the caller replies that your boss will receive an agenda at the meeting, state that your boss wants to see the agenda at least a day before the meeting. This gives your boss time to prepare and avoids being ambushed by surprises.

2) Ask “What are the goals for this meeting?” or “What results do you want to have by the end of the meeting?” A meeting without goals will lack direction, which can be as deadly as no agenda.

They also use this as an opportunity to delegate work upwards, show off, and ask their boss to make decisions. Vague replies (such as, “Oh, we just want hear what your boss has to say”) suggest lazy planning.
