The Role of Meetings in Modern Communication
Meetings can serve different purposes, including disseminating information or fostering debates to refine ideas. However, in the modern age, relying solely on meetings for communication may hinder productivity. Effective communication can also be achieved through asynchronous methods like writing down arguments for others to critique, as seen in the Federalist papers or open-source communities' pull requests. Companies like Amazon use pre-meeting memos to ensure discussions are more effective. Tech companies, despite being focused on innovation, often face issues with excessive meeting room usage, which can detract from core activities like coding and user interaction. Prioritizing tasks like coding and engaging with users is crucial for sustained productivity, regardless of company size.
