A small meeting is by no means insignificant – very often the exact opposite is the case. One of the most important advantages of small meetings is the high effectiveness of communication. The smaller the group of people present, the easier it is to have a precise and clear conversation. It is easier for everyone involved to express their own ideas and thoughts while distractions and interruptions are kept to a minimum. This also comprises a higher level of participation by those present. Every participant is given the space to express themselves and even quieter people are more likely to come out of their shell in smaller groups. Another advantage is greater flexibility and adaptability. The fewer people are involved, the faster decisions can be made and changed again. The decision-making process is therefore shorter. This efficiency results in time savings compared to larger meetings. Stronger relationships and improved collaboration are also a plus point of small meetings. Additionally, there is often greater trust and understanding for the other team members.
