It is a summary of some of the issues I address in my book Speed Lead based on experiences training over 40,000 people - much more on my thinking there if you are interested.

On teams and meetings I have spent many years helping people deal with issues of facilitation and process and as teams get more complex this becomes counter productive - it’s much better to simplify and ideally eliminate unnecessary cooperation.

Too much focus on facilitation and process also undervalues the role of the participants who I believe should be doing much more of the work.

I find it takes people a while to work through this different logic - particularly if, like me, you have had teamwork communication etc.. programmed into us by management training, appraisal and reading.

In the book, I don’t just criticize these approaches I also offer some practical alternatives

Lead less - expect more
