We joke all the time about meetings that could have been emails, but like all good humour, there's an element of truth. In this episode we ask the question, should we ban meetings? One company has done away with meetings, so it's possible. Instead of meetings, here's what they do instead:
- No meetings other than exceptional circumstances.
- For a meeting to go ahead, a detailed meeting agenda must be written 24 hours in advance, only two people can attend and they must last no longer than half an hour.
- No internal emails - everything must be discussed on a public slack channel.
- Company Wiki used for reference material and to store documents.
- Project management tools like Asana keep teams focused on the task at hand.
We also discuss how to stop spending time with the wrong people, if beards make you more trustworthy and lots more.
