35%
What the research says: McKinsey found that 25–50% of meeting time is lost to friction and poor follow-through. Harvard Business Review: 71% of senior managers say their meetings are unproductive. Bain & Company: only 11% of meetings are considered genuinely productive.
Given that, what would you estimate for your team — what percentage of your meetings are genuinely productive?
