I don't like to talk too much about the job I'm this data rich world. But, I do have a question I have been contemplating for a while.
Is attending a meeting as valuable as working as an individual contributor?
I find myself having a full day of meeting (which I see as 7 or 8 hours of meetings), followed by me sitting down at my desk and feeling like I'm finally getting sething done.
Work - life balance aside, am I not understanding something? Is this a perspective issue? Or maybe a transition of perspective, required of certain types of jobs and at certain levels of seniority?

ReplyDeleteYour perspective on meetings matches mine. For me, 1 in 10 meetings is useful or effective. For me, I find that most people have no idea when to have a meeting (a memo would suffice in most cases) or how to run one (you've seen the guidelines). That makes for a lot of dumb meetings.
