A Chief People Officer once asked me, 'How do we make our meetings better?', I replied, 'Make them harder to have' - Darren Murph

it's going to take organizational unlearning and rewiring of the defaults

Synchronous meetings should not be the default way to move work forward. There should be some friction, some thought, does this really need to be a synchronous meeting or can it be achieved via some other means? - Darren Murph

Part two is relearning the language around meetings. There's this assumption that when we say meeting, it has to be people gathered together synchronously. But there are lots of ways to meet - Darren Murph

We can use all of these new digital tools and platforms for us to meet, meeting of the mind. And in fact, many of them allow more minds to meet than ever before - Darren Murph
