00:00:00.000 I can tell how crappy a company is by the volume of meetings they have.

00:00:03.900 People that are always meeting, they haven't thought through the strategy.

00:00:07.320 They don't have priorities. They don't have a vision. They don't have a direction.

00:00:10.700 Most great businesses, the quarter is baked at the beginning of the quarter.

00:00:15.060 And if there is a meeting, it's really just an awareness update or coordination or solving a problem.

00:00:20.840 The only thing that gets people paid is doing the work.

00:00:23.140 You know what doesn't happen when you're in a meeting with your team? The work.

00:00:26.080 You should let people do the work.
