I work as an Engineering Manager at Google, and my teams practice a simple habit - we book all meetings to start at five minutes past the hour (or half hour). This works better than trying to finish five minutes early. Meetings often don't finish on time, and the impact is highest with back-to-back meetings.…
Or, hear me out, show some maturity and end the meeting at it’s end time.
Individual action vs group action. You don’t have control over other people. You can’t force others in your organization to end their meetings on the hour. You can however set your meetings to begin five minutes after the hour.
