Do the opposite. The Anti-Stankey Plan.

JS: Default to 30 minute meetings.
JS: Limit Meetings to 8 people.
JS: Use A Topical Outline.
JS: Limit PowerPoint. No Printouts.

If you want to increase your value and stock price, I’d advise either having an hour long meeting with 16 people and print out a PowerPoint deck with action items, owners and deliverables. Use the extra time for questions and clarifications. Use the extra people as coverage for life events (even executives have babies). People write notes on PowerPoint decks with next steps they own.

Want to win. Be an Anti-Stankey!

Management by guesswork. No planning or intelligence is called winging it. Great way to run a multi billion dollar business !

Legg’s meeting analogy is to make light of date ra-e by showing up to the meeting in a metaphysical universe because you unknowingly ingested memory impacting hallucinogens. Will never forget that @sshat’s Town Hall. “Get Legg to the Town Hall”. That piece of garbage and every leadership level that played along, should apologize to every employee for making light of date ra-e.

I thought Legg's meeting analogy was to bring a band so everyone can vote on it, then make a video to an old movie, and then lie about everything.

Stankey and Legg are at odds regarding this. Legg wants to see three hour meetings. I wonder who will prevail?

With a revolt like that, change will happen quickly. Are you serious?

Better that Legg’s “Pizza” analogy. Stolen from Agile training. Agile at AT&T is a joke as leadership superglued to broken SBC processes.

So, is Stankey now suggesting we limit collaboration?

That’ll show him
