It should be up to the team, that is what is key.
Way too many times management will try and dictate based on what they think is right without taking in the desires and the makeup of the team. This usually is shown in the form of all hands meetings on a very regular basis -- more than one startup I've been at have fallen into this trap.
- trhtrsh 14y ago"all-hands" meetings are an artificial attempt to instill a social-heirarchy, by elevating the presenters over the rest of the staff. Being invited to speak at an all hands is attempt to award social currency, by telling the presenter that they are special. All-hands have no value, with one exception: If they provide an open mic for questions, it's a rare opportunity to put an exec on the spot in front of everyone.
