The Problem with Meetings and Company Practices

Meetings can often hinder productivity in organizations, with employees attending an average of 62 meetings per month, half of which are considered wasted time. Various companies, including Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskowitz's Asana and Move Lime startup co-founded by Kelly Eidsen, have implemented no meeting days to enhance productivity. Southwest Consulting stands out with their 'Mad Meeting Mondays' approach, packing all meetings into a single day. This strategy emphasizes intense meeting days followed by focused execution throughout the week.
