Since I get to make certain rules, one of them is that I won’t (one exception below) attend a meeting without an agenda and context. It’s not the Bezos paper, but simply something like “let’s nail down the skeleton of the Fubarco proposal: I think we should have the sections 1: agreed abojectives, 2:…. I’m not sure about 4, which is why we need to talk. Agenda: A: agree on the structure, B: give each section an owner; I suggest…”
Often that’s enough to cause the meeting not to happen.
(We are remote most dayssome have one unstructured morning meeting called “watercooler discussion. Not a standup!!”)
