1/3 of the meeting is silence? That’s a good thing. It’s allowing people time to think over what they’re hearing, there are pauses to allow people to contribute or participate. What do you think a better percentage of silent time would be?

Good point, somehow if I think of a 30 minutes meeting, 10 minutes of silence sounds great, but seeing a 1 hour block disappear from a 3 hour recording makes me want to use that “free” hour to do something else.

Well, I don’t think silence is not the real problem with a 3 hour meeting!

If people could speak continuously for an entire meeting then that meeting would be better off as an email. Meetings are for bouncing half formed ideas around and coagulating that into something greater.

There MUST be time to think
