Meetings: The Silent Productivity Drain We Can't Seem to Quit
Picture this: 55 million meetings happen daily in America alone, costing a staggering $1.4 trillion annually-with an estimated $250 billion completely wasted on ineffective gatherings. Since the 1970s, meeting frequency has exploded fivefold, with executives now spending 56-60% of their working hours in meetings. Some university chancellors average seven meetings daily, totaling nearly five hours, while nonprofit executives often spend six and a half hours meeting-many of which are simply preparing for other meetings! This meeting epidemic reflects shifting organizational values toward inclusion and flatter hierarchies. But the costs are enormous. Beyond the direct financial impact, we rarely calculate the facilities, equipment, opportunity costs, and psychological toll of bad meetings. Most organizations simply accept poor meetings as inevitable-a necessary evil of professional life. What's your organization's return on meeting investment? Using a Meeting Quality Assessment tool, you can calculate your "Wasted Meeting Time Index." Scores between 0-20% indicate productive meetings (above typical), 21-40% suggest hit-or-miss meetings with considerable waste (sadly typical), and scores above 41% indicate meetings needing substantial improvement. The good news? Meeting science-the systematic study of what happens before, during, and after meetings-offers evidence-based solutions that can transform this productivity killer.
