I think he&#x27;s being diplomatic in not bringing up another reason for meetings. Some people make their career around them, especially management. When it comes to decision making, most team sizes simply don&#x27;t produce enough decisions to fill a manager&#x27;s 40+ hour work week. Meetings act as a method of elongating those decisions into multiple hour ordeals. Quit hiring pure managers below the executive level and make use of working managers instead.
