Marker 19: Meetings Are Too Expensive

Meetings don’t cost time. They cost trust, energy, and momentum.


The Hidden Drain in Your Business
We’ve normalized calendar bloat.
But when you add up the cost of a weekly all-hands or daily stand-ups with no decisions, it’s terrifying.

  • People start zoning out

  • Follow-through drops

  • Nobody knows why they’re there

  • Nobody leaves better than they arrived


Gather to Decide. Not to Perform.
If your meetings don’t result in:

  • Decisions

  • Delegation

  • Deadlines

…then they don’t need to happen.

Use:

  • Video updates

  • Project tools

  • 1:1s with intention

Let your team breathe again.
