(The meetings sub-rant)
The big issue I tend to have with normal corporate meetings is that everyone seems to be a complete cargo cult amateur at it; even when they try.
I think I'd much prefer a "remote first" style of meeting, where everything is designed as an asynchronous, clear deadlines for contribution, process. The actual meetings should be broken up in to focus-groups tackling a specific task, such as brain-storming the definition of a problem, or that problem's solution.
you need another meeting to break up the tasks among focus-groups. This feels like recursive ;)
No you don't. Allow people to take on the tasks by themselves, (agile style) distribute unwanted ones at random at a deadline.
But how do you determine what tasks to do and what the scope thereof is? When they're done? That's what most our meetings are about, :p
