I want to first state that I really appreciate the effort. One thing that I realized being an EM for a while and on a lot of simultaneous projects at <large famous tech company>, is that one of the major issues with meetings wasn't only aimlessness, or too many people sitting in it, but actually that there were some people (somehow most often the dumbest ones) that will go on tangents, or just take up all of the breathing room and waste everyone elses time. To me, the problem is a mix of talent & culture. Our "people" team heard all of the feedback and always vowed to fix communications/meeting culture with presentations and notion guides, but nothing ever happened because the root cause is simply a combination of poor talent and bad leadership that doesn't uphold strong values around effective communication. Tools like these are just slapping lipstick on a pig most of the time, because if your folks don't care, none of the ratings you've implemented or any of these "agenda items" are really going to do anything if people aren't actually abiding or care. It's like using Jira or whatever pjm software you have. It can be the most powerful thing, but your feature tickets are a direct function of how well someone writes them and cares about writing them. The only time I've ever noticed a good meeting culture, is by having fewer people work at a bloated org, having more focused teams via a sane org structure, and less types of folks who operate on a premise that they're productive because they've attended X meetings and answered Y slack messages, and really serious leaders who can shut someone up and move on to something else and call a meeting early because it's truly over. If you don't have folks like these, no amount of gcal addons or plugins will fix this IMO.
