The Point of a Meeting: Unpacking the Enigma
Meetings: the bane of productivity and the bane of sanity. Or are they? We're not here to judge. But we do know that the real question is: what is the point of a meeting?
Answer:
The point of a meeting, my friend, is not just to sit around the conference table, sipping on lukewarm coffee and pretending to care. No, no. The point of a meeting is to:
- Discuss things that could have been discussed in email
- Rehash things that were said last week
- Agree that we all agree
- Settle on a course of action that will inevitably change in 2 hours
And that, my friend, is the point of a meeting.
