What actually works

We have 45 people across 7 time zones. Last quarter we ran an experiment: we cancelled every recurring meeting for two weeks. Every standup, every weekly sync, every cross-functional check-in. Gone. We replaced them with one rule: if you need a decision, write a 200-word brief in Slack and tag the people who need to weigh in. They have 24 hours to respond. What happened: decisions actually got faster. The average time from question to decision dropped from 3.2 days to 1.4 days. It turns out most of our meetings existed so that one person could ask one question and seven other people could listen. We added back exactly four meetings after the experiment. Everything else stayed async. Our team's weekly survey score for "I have enough uninterrupted work time" went from 3.1 to 4.4 out of 5. Most companies don't have a meeting problem. They have a decision-making problem that they solve with meetings.

The good version describes a specific experiment with specific results. You walk away with an actionable idea: cancel everything, replace with async briefs, see what you actually need. The numbers make the argument.
