One of my basic philosophies, when I ran a team, was “No regularly-scheduled meetings.” Every meeting needed a specific goal and need.

But I worked for a Japanese company, and they take meetings very seriously.

One of my employees suggested daily standups. I tried to support my employees, when they suggested new stuff, so I said “let’s give it a try.”

The Japanese Liaison really liked the idea, but it needed just a little tweak…

In a short time, we were having hour-long meetings every Friday at lunchtime.
