Draft

I have always been horrified at the meeting culture (or rather lack thereof) in some organizations.

In many organizations that I have collaborated with, it's not uncommon for a workday to consist of back-to-back meetings with 5 to 10 people (or more).

Problems with meetings:

• Breaks up focused work
• Unclear contribution expectations
• Drains mental capacity (digital meetings in particular)

Objectives of meetings:

• Share information
• Discuss project status or issues
• Make sure everyone is aligned
• Build trust
• Ensure that someone pays attention to/prioritizes something
