If you ever want to figure out whether someone is an introvert or an extrovert, ask them how they feel about networking. If their face lights up and they instinctively open their calendar, it’s safe to assume they’re extroverted. But if they clam up and mutter something about not being good at networking? Classic introvert. While that might be a slight oversimplification, many introverts think of “networking” as a dirty word and an activity best left to their more naturally outgoing counterparts

The first time I tried to write a novel I was 23. I had all the time in the world. I was a full-time graduate student. I lived alone, I had no children, and it took me three years to finish a draft. Five years later, I tried again. I was working full-time as a reporter and I lived with my boyfriend, but we had no kids. This time, it took me five years.

Your organization’s meeting problem didn’t happen overnight. It happened over time as new people joined and brought their own ways of approaching meetings. It also happened as bad habits built up over time. Slowly, meetings started having too many people, or always ran over time, or took up too much space in everyone’s calendar. By the time you’ve noticed there’s a problem, productivity is down and meetings have become a pain rather than an efficient way to push forward and make decisions.
