Learn to love meetings
summary
Protocols replace meandering: start with check-in to surface emotional states, collect each person’s concrete outcome, ban personal devices and use a shared screen to stop distractions, record with GoPros or an intelligent camera that transcribes for searchable minutes, and decide fast with a decider (thumbs up/down plus a single-question “investigation”). Experiments halving calendar durations force focus and cut meeting time dramatically; a meeting-effectiveness dashboard quantifies connection/setup delays, outcome capture, and whether decisions actually happened.
