The Meeting Default Problem (Feb. 5 Th. Th.)

Most organizations don’t choose their meetings. They default to them.Weekly huddles. Standing project meetings. Meetings to prepare for other meetings. I call this the Meeting Default Problem.... when meetings quietly replace trust, clarity, and momentum.This week’s Thursday Thoughts starts with a question from a project manager who said: “I’m in meetings all Monday. Honestly, they feel like meetings to meet.” If that sounds familiar, this reflection explores:*Why meetings often form around anxiety, not necessity*When the whole group actually needs to be in the room (and when they don’t)*How trust, leadership, and collaboration can reduce meetings—not add moreLink to mentioned 2024 Thursday Thoughts: “Did that Meeting Fill You or Deplete You?” https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/did-meeting-fill-you-deplete-gregg-potter-uvxoc/👉 Full email: Meeting Default Problemhttps://lnkd.in/gy9aGJeS#ThursdayThoughts #collaboration #leadership #organizationalculture #meetings #collaborativeintelligence #meetingstomeet
