Why are effective meetings so valuable in business?

Meetings are an effective way to bring people together to increase communication effectiveness, collaboration and to achieve results.

Meetings result in far more effective communication than either email or teleconferences. This is true because 55% of the meaning and feeling associated with a message is delivered through facial expression and non-verbal signals.

Email is effective in communicating only 7% of the true meaning and feeling of a message and teleconferences communicate only 38%.
