The problem with getting rid of meetings is that informal communication patterns between key people becomes a form of hierarchy. So people feel out of the loop and want meetings as a way to stay informed.

This is where a culture of documentation and internal communication is key

@carnage4life Are you saying everyone needs to be in “the loop”? I’m of the thinking that if there’s nothing to say, don’t have a meeting (which seems to be the norm). I don’t know if meetings aren’t just a power ploy anyways

@RADC
I interpret what
@carnage4life is saying as: meetings are a symptom of lack of, or bad, documentation and/or internal documentation (which I think is an excellent point). Not that meetings are a good way to communicate

@MaybeJustJames @carnage4life Thanks for your insight James Much appreciated. I’m also seasoned enough to know an effective manager will tailor communications in such a way that is effective to each singular underling since no two people digest information the same way A manager adapts to each, not the other way around In my humble opinion
