summary
Claims specific practices cut wasted meetings: use virtual post-it noting and timed polls to gather many ideas, list risks then circle the most probable, reframe feedback with how might we prompts, and narrow options with dot voting. Backing stats appear: 71% of senior managers call meetings inefficient, ~40% call unproductive meetings the biggest cost, 62% say meetings miss team-building, and 41% of attendees multitask. Practical rules include a parking lot, timebox rabbit holes, require clear action items or skip the meeting.
