Meetings are an essential ritual of leadership.  Well-run meetings craft visions, develop strategies, optimize systems and empower people.  These meetings leverage what Richard Dunsing described in his book, “You and I Have Simply Got to Stop Meeting this Way!” as the “wonderful human energy, talent and diversity that is gathered.”

Others, though, waste time, drain energy and kill spirits. They become the “dark alley that great ideas go to be beaten to death.” (Source unknown)

The wise and all-knowing guru, “Anonymous,” once said, “The best are often prisoners of their excellence. Great doctors, scientists, lawyers, writers, musicians, artists are always in personal demand, under unceasing pressure for their presence and creativity.  It must be a terrible burden to be essential. In this sense, freedom lies in being dispensable.”

The frenzy represents the many demands imposed on leaders by customers, superiors, subordinates, and the bureaucratic demands of the organization.These distractions take away from core leadership functions such as focusing, planning, communicating, coordinating, and educating.
