I get the "must have agenda" rule, and I'm all for enforcement of that rule, but how did they ensure that the agenda was contentful and meaningful? Not "(1) Convene and take roll, (2) Talk about projects, (3) Set do-outs." [or is it due-outs?]

At a 100k company, my leadership encourages people to decline meetings without clearly stated agendas and purpose.

If you have a poor agenda you look like a clown and people wont come.
