A big difference I notice between average and strong employees is clarity. Average employees and managers don’t know what they want and set vague meetings ("quick sync about strategy"), which tend to waste time. The best employees clearly state exactly what decision they need ("choose our vendor by EOD"), required prep ("read this short doc"), and a simple agenda.
So be clearer where you can, starting with the invite. It shows respect, saves everyone time, and leads to quicker, smarter outcomes.
