Nat and Kristen count their weekly meetings live on air (nine for Kristen. NINE.) and dive into why your calendar has become a problem.
They cover why time wasted in unproductive meetings has doubled since the pandemic, why 70% of senior execs admit meetings are inefficient but keep booking them anyway, and what you can do about it. Get simple tips: from auditing the recurring ‘ghost meetings’ that nobody needs anymore, to the magic of the 15-minute meeting, to sending your manager three bullet points on a Monday instead of booking yet another catch-up.
Everyone's flat right now (not just you) Why people are checking out (spoiler: six years of economic chaos can do that), why change fatigue is different this time, and whether the generational blame game is useful.
