Six one-liners on meetings

1. Make a better meeting when you can, and the best of a meeting when you can’t.
2. The choice to avoid holding a meeting may snowball into problems that require even more meetings.
3. Ensure every meeting worth the person-time, assuming organizational dynamics allow for it.
4. Recurring meetings have to earn their continued existence.
5. Steer meetings away from sidebars, confusions, digressions, and distractions.
6. Meeting are an opportunity to go deeper than documents and chats allow.

Bonus: meetings are the work.
