How to Have Productive Meetings

Last year I facilitated a VIP Planning Day for a small accounting practice. During the course of the day we reviewed the progress they had made since the Planning Day we had the year before. As we were reflecting on their achievements before planning the coming 12 months,  one of the partners made the comment on how crucial their weekly meetings were.
When I first suggested they have regular weekly meetings, the same partner thought it was a waste of time. He was focussed on how much time it cost to have everyone stop work for that hour. Being an accountant he was always focussed on chargeable hours and if they are all in a meeting for an hour they are potentially losing in excess of $1000.
