Meetings are toxic: They usually convey an abysmally small amount of information per minute.

What exactly is wrong with meetings and managers (or M&Ms, as we call them)? Well there is nothing intrinsically wrong with them. What's wrong is how often they're applied in office situations.

If you are in a room with five people for an hour, it's a five-hour meeting.

Meetings procreate: One meeting leads to another meeting leads to another...

By rationing in-person meetings, their stature is elevated to that of a rare treat.

We lead people not machines, we embrace spending more time with our team than in meetings.
