  • #51: How To Run A Meeting

In the early days of a company, meetings are rare. But then before you know it, 15 people turn into 30 people — and you’re spending more of your time in meetings than you were before and getting nothing done. That’s exactly what has happened to us at Drift over the last few months (going from 15 to 30). And before we get to the point where people are spending more time in meetings than actually making things, David shared a memo with the team on our company wiki titled "Meetings at Drift.” So that’s what we’re talking about on this episode of Seeking Wisdom — how we deal with meetings, and the guardrails we use for meetings at Drift.
