I will never understand why people choose to have business meetings in the first place. In every scenario that doesn’t include personal introductions, everyone would be better off collaborating digitally.
Perhaps we are still missing the tools to do that effectively.
Crucially, I don’t mean we need another face-to-face/mouth-to-ear communication tool, or yet another way to write the same documents together. We need a new paradigm for thinking collaboratively, and tools to support that.
There’s your free billion dollar idea for today.
- gc22browsing 4y agoManagers love meetings. Makes them feel important. And since nothing is written down, it allows them to deny or twist what they had said in the past. Seems to me that the majority of people are extroverts and gain energy from social interactions. Those who are introverts and prefer to research and think are labelled as being on the spectrum by the majority.
- eurasiantiger 4y agoI don’t believe there are ”introverts” and ”extroverts”. I think these are labels we apply to behaviour, which places them squarely under ”fundamental attribution error”.
