There is an old saying "failure to plan is planning to fail". I just read an article, which I am not referencing because it provided bad advice. It said if your project isn't moving along just start activity and develop the plan as you go. Seriously. I have had to fix projects precisely for that reason. You must have a project plan with clear goals.
The article went on to state that meetings are a waste of time and don't achieve anything and you should just have informal huddles! I bet they wouldn't even agree to that in football. Meetings don't achieve anything when they aren't properly planned, don't have a purpose, when no one takes notes and when actions aren't assigned. I was fortunate enough to have belonged to a Toastmasters' Club way back when and I was taught Robert's Rules of Order which include the proper way to run a meeting. I recommend both Toastmasters and Robert's Rules. Take responsibility, show some leadership, have goals, assign tactical activities and for pete's sake plan to succeed.
