Execs and employees agree on one thing: half our meetings are a waste of time. But we don't do anything about it, especially in large organizations.

How to secure executive commitment, build good habits incrementally, start small and scale smart, measure what matters and reinforce continuously. Good habits are hard to build and easy to break. Review metrics at the exec level, talk about gaps, and communicate consistently.
