During my research for Exponential Theory, I had the opportunity to study workplace cultures at some of the most disruptive companies in the world. Through these experiences, I came to realize that traditional meetings may no longer be the most effective way to foster collaboration and communication in the workplace. I believe conscious leaders should explore alternatives to meetings that can positively impact employee well-being and productivity both in the office and remotely.
Why eliminate meetings? Meetings can disrupt the flow of work and consume valuable time that could be better spent on more meaningful tasks. The average office worker spends roughly 31 hours per month in unproductive meetings, and 71% of managers say meetings are ineffective. To avoid these pitfalls, leaders should maximize the benefits of the hybrid model, which allows employees to engage in deep work while remote and collaborative work while in the office. The traditional meeting, considered by many to be the artery-clogging plague of the workday, may no longer hold its place in the future of work.
