Absolutely could not disagree with this statement more. Meetings are where productivity goes to die. Information should be throughly documented, annotated, and shared. Async feedback + RT collaboration is how value is created.
You could build a multi-billion dollar business without ever going into a meeting.
Meetings are a crutch. A bad habit of legacy forced-commute workplaces that simply want to give the appearance of work. It’s the ultimate form of the art of not working.
- watwut 6y agoIt all depends on how the meeting is moderated, whether people can excuse themselves out of them when they are not relevant and so on. I think that key is culture where it is ok to say "I dont need to be in this meeting, have a nice day". The written discussions take awful amount of time compared to moderated meeting (whether online or offline one).
