HOUR 151: Restoring Sanity To The Office

HOUR 151: HBR Ideacast with Sarah Green Carmichael, Episode 557: Restoring Sanity To The Office with Jason Fried (Basecamp CEO)

Here are today’s takeaway points:

1. The worse thing about in-office meetings are they force everyone to be on the same schedule, even if it doesn’t suit, which can be an inefficient and expensive way to communicate information to a tram. If you have 6 or 8 employees and they all give up one hour of work time to attend a meeting, that’s 6 to 8 hours of lost time and it does add up. There are more efficient ways to communicate information. 
2. When you’re putting people together into groups to complete a particular task or project, the less people in the group, the more efficient the group will be, because there will be less people to communicate with and less scheduling required to get everyone together.
