Why Does Everyone Hate Meetings?

Is Meeting Hatred Fueled by Toxic Productivity Culture?

The number and quality of meetings today, give us plenty of reasons to dislike them. But so does how we measure productivity and our obsession with it. Have you ever thought that the way we view meetings as curse could be a direct result of the toxic productivity culture? In this episode of 'Less Shi*ty Meetings,' we dive into the process of identifying patterns and redundancies within organization's meetings. Learn how understanding the flow of information, attendance, and meeting duration can help you pinpoint the real issues hindering your productivity; why focusing on the format, number of participants, or agenda isn't the right starting point. Instead, find out how to make a list of your meetings, analyze them for critical insights, and set the stage for more productive discussions. Join us over the next few weeks as we explore meeting structures, schedules, and ROI. Tune in and start transforming your meetings today! #podcast #meetings #toxicproductivity Don’t forget to follow!

Why Does Everyone Hate Meetings?

Welcome to the first episode of 'Less Shitty Meetings'. With this podcast, the mission is simple: get rid of meetings; at least the shi*ty ones. In each episode, we’ll share data and insights that we’ve gathered from hours of research and of course, years of experience living with a calendar full of meetings. We’ll share case studies on what works and what doesn’t work for individuals and organisations around the world. You might also hear some horror stories. But at the end of it all, I hope that I and you will have a calendar with more space for things that move the needle. So stay tuned as we reclaim our time and sanity from the meeting madness. Don’t forget to subscribe! We borrowed the sound track at the beginning - it’s originally from by Thomas Benjamin.
