Most meetings aren’t collaboration. They’re corporate procrastination.

Most meetings aren’t collaboration. They’re corporate procrastination.

There’s a sign in my office that says: No more meetings.

It’s not a joke. It’s a strategy.

Most execs spend 20 hours a week in meetings where nothing gets decided.

No action. No outcomes. Just expensive calendar noise.

I worked with a tech company buried in meetings.

Everyone complained about slow execution.

So we banned all recurring meetings for 30 days.

Output skyrocketed.

When meetings came back, they followed strict rules:

Clear agenda.

A decision maker in the room.

Action items sent within the hour.

No exceptions.

Here’s your test:

Take any meeting on your calendar this week.

Multiply the hourly rate of everyone in the room.

Now ask: What result justifies that cost?

If you don’t have a clear answer...cancel it.
