A comment on The collaboration curse.

At my new job, I've really started pushing back against meetings that seem superfluous. Often times I'll find myself saying the same exact thing at 3 different meetings, and it almost never affects anyone else in the room.

What form does this pushing take? How is it working? I ask because I've failed at this before; managers have great power to defend their habits and processes.

I've asked my manager specifically what it is I and others are supposed to be getting out of each meeting

> How is it working?

Well, I only got out of one meeting so far, but I'll be damned if I don't keep trying!
