Every project manager knows the frustration of meetings that drain time, stall decisions, and leave teams no closer to action. In this episode, Evan Unger offers practical strategies for turning meetings into focused conversations that drive better decisions, stronger buy-in, and higher team performance. From building effective agendas to leading high-stakes discussions, Evan explains how project leaders can create stronger decision-making structures. He also introduces the POPRA model — Purpose, Objectives, Process, Roles, and Agreements — to help keep meetings focused, efficient, and productive, even when consensus is difficult to reach.
