I used to be on the board of a national political organization. We met monthly, on the phone, for two hous once a month. We made our decisions using consensus. We had 30 people, opiniated activists mostly, on the call On the five years I served We went over time twice. Once by five minutes and once by 90. We had a very good facilitator In business I have almost never been in meetings that well run. Good on Shopify. But the problem is not "meetings". The problem is those meetings
