What Jamie wrote
Some of these are obvious and I see them (and probably practice some of them) on a regular basis. However, I hadn't considered something like FOMO, the fear of missing out, and how that could impact meetings. The six concepts here are:
- Meeting FOMO
- Selfish Urgency
- Meetings as Commitment Devices
- The Mere Urgency Effect
- Meeting Amnesia
- Pluralistic Ignorance
A good read if all you get from it is a way to identify certain meeting patterns or intentions.
