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. We stumble into our calendars at the start of the day, and recover afterwards. We argue over days per week together, but ignore the bigger issue: we have too many meetings yet poor collaboration, and too little focus time for deep work.

You can successfully scale efforts to improve collaboration and improve focus time for deep work. This article gets into what works. 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.
