Learn about a radical approach called Meeting Doomsday, where organizations reset their calendars by deleting all recurring meetings and reintroducing them gradually to combat meeting bloat and increase productivity. Hear examples of how Dropbox and the team at Asana implemented this approach and the challenges faced by employees during the process.
WorkLife with Adam Grant, another podcast from the TED Audio Collective is back! This season, Adam takes a look at how to find meaningful work and how to make jobs more energizing. In this first episode: meetings. Meetings often drain our joy and sap our focus — and meeting overload kills productivity. So why do we have so many of them — and is a better world possible? Adam investigates the science of improving meetings and explores how workplaces are fighting meeting bloat. Available transcripts for WorkLife can be found at go.ted.com/WLtranscripts
