Meetings and Movies: Finding Common Ground
Meetings and movies share similarities in how they engage participants. Just as boring movies have viewers waiting for the end, tedious meetings leave attendees unenthused. The root of this issue lies in the absence of conflict and tension. A great movie thrives on conflict, drawing viewers in from the start. Applying this principle to meetings can transform them from monotonous routines to engaging sessions where participants actively contribute.
