Domain-specific¶
- Meeting Inflation
- The growth has three distinguishable components that require different interventions: genuine coordination-need growth with team size (addressed by async communication channels that decouple coordination from real-time attendance), defensive scheduling driven by information-exclusion anxiety (addressed by decision-rights frameworks that clarify who must be informed versus who must decide), and coordination-of-coordination proliferation in which meta-meetings arise to triage the object-meeting load (the recursive self-compounding phase, addressed only by a deliberate calendar audit that cuts from the root)
This sourceThe HBR feature establishing that meeting load is a systemic problem - executives average nearly 23 hours a week in meetings, up from under 10 in the 1960s, and 'chopped-up schedules interrupt deep thinking' - and that 'real improvement requires systemic change, not discrete fixes'; the entry's three-way split of the growth, with a distinct cure for each component, is its own synthesis rather than this article's taxonomy.
