Quote by John Kenneth Galbraith
Meetings are a great trap. Soon you find yourself trying to get agreement and then the people who disagree come to think they have a right to be persuaded. However, they are indispensable when you don't want to do anything.
Summary
This quote suggests that meetings can often become counterproductive. While attempting to seek agreement, opposing views emerge and the notion of having to convince others becomes an expectation. However, meetings can also serve as a convenient way to avoid taking action or making decisions, allowing individuals to maintain a sense of productivity while actually accomplishing very little. It highlights the inherent flaws and pitfalls of meetings, cautioning against excessive reliance on them when faced with the need for meaningful progress.
