Meetings multiply when something upstream isn't holding
Meetings rise as reliability falls. The volume is the signal.
Meetings multiply for a reason.
Not because people like them.
Something upstream isn't holding.
Decisions don't hold.
Scope has no edge.
Direction doesn't survive the handoff.
So the same things get rebuilt.
Across rooms.
Across teams.
The meeting is where it becomes visible.
It's not about the meetings. It's what isn't holding.
