I think he’s talking about both the traditional 1:1 as well as ad hoc meetings where the “mostly listening” mandate is absent. I agree with him that the vast majority of large meetings should be emails in an ideal world. In Trump’s America though only about half of people read their work emails and follow up on action items in them, and often later than would be ideal for anything time sensitive. Theoretically doing all 1:1s for that communication is only about 2x as expensive as one big meeting, but it takes much longer to organize and execute.
