During World War II, the Office of Strategic Services published a manual teaching ordinary citizens how to sabotage the enemy from within. One of the tactics: hold unproductive meetings.
Nearly a century later, Dr. Rebecca Hinds is dedicating her career to studying why meetings fail – and what it actually costs when they do.
Topic Highlights:
– The WWII sabotage manual that became standard business practice and makes meeting culture work against you
– The 4D CEO test: a two-part filter for deciding whether any given meeting should exist at all
– Why AI is making meetings worse, not better, and the one rule that changes that
– The "meeting doomsday" intervention: what it is and why it works
– The Babble Hypothesis: who's actually perceived as a leader in meetings
Guest Bio:
Dr. Rebecca Hinds is an organizational psychologist, author of Your Best Meeting Ever, founder of the Work Innovation Lab at Asana, and founder of the Work AI Institute at Glean.
