S2E4. How to 'Meeting' Better - The Chaos of Scale

How many of your meetings actually need to exist… and how many are just… there?In this episode of The Chaos of Scale, Andy Golding takes aim at one of the biggest hidden drains on time, energy, and momentum in scaling companies:  meetings. The weeklies, the standups, the “quick syncs” that somehow multiply until your calendar looks like a failed game of Tetris.This isn’t just a rant—it’s a rethink.We unpack why recurring meetings quietly kill productivity, how they introduce “delay drag” into your workflows, and why most meetings are far more expensive than anyone realizes. Then we flip the script: what if meetings weren’t the default? What if they were intentional investments designed to drive decisions, not just fill time?If you’ve ever sat in a meeting wondering why you’re there—or waited days to solve something that could’ve been handled in 10 minutes—this one will hit home.Expect practical shifts, a few uncomfortable truths, and one simple action that could give you (and your team) hours back every single week.#Leadership #Productivity #ScalingStartups #WorkplaceCultureShare Your Chaos!Explore More and join us on the Socials:Instagram | YouTube | TikTok | TheChaosOfScale.com
