while I agree with it, there’s also another side to it
I’ve been on too many calls where the meeting leader / management says some bullshit that’s incredibly unclear and unactionable, and they need to admit that in front of everybody before they start blaming teams for underperforming
Yup, after 25+ mins of conversation, often there aren’t any actionable takeaways and noone has taken ownership of anything.
I’d much rather spend a few mins working out who’s on the hook for what, rather than meet again in a week and discuss the whole thing again with zero progress in between.
It depends on how much management is above or below.
There have definitely been times in my life where a meeting was just a reason to zone out and take a break while someone else got their chance to listen to their own voice.

Wait, you pay attention during a teams meeting? How? Can you teach me this superpower?
