  1. 1. Death By Meeting

    A Leadership Fable... About Solving the Most Painful Problem in Business

    A business fable that diagnoses why workplace meetings are dull, inefficient, and destructive, then offers a practical remedy: meetings need clear purposes, sharper structure, and healthy conflict to be productive. The narrative shows how leaders can transform meeting culture by defining distinct meeting types (short daily check-ins, tactical weekly sessions, longer strategic meetings and periodic off-site reviews), setting agendas tied to tangible issues, encouraging passionate debate rather than artificial harmony, and holding participants accountable for preparation and outcomes. By combining drama with structure and a leader’s role as facilitator, the approach aims to make meetings more engaging, faster, and more effective at driving decisions and organizational alignment.
