Remote work brought us many gifts. And a curse, too.
Meetings are now the standard form of communication. No thought is put on to properly run them. And there are dire consequences to it.
Knowledge workers need time to focus. And meetings steal that time. Meetings are literally holding back economic growth worldwide.
In one study, 67% of people agreed that most meetings are "failures". Or take this Harvard Business Review Study, where 64% of inquirees said "meetings come at the expense of deep thinking". To top it all off, it's proven you need an average of 23 minutes to regain focus after a distraction.
