Meeting-Centric Management (MCM)
(Corporate Culture / Team Coordination)
A management style where meetings become the primary vehicle for communication, decision-making, and validation of all activities. Work outside of meetings is considered secondary, and attending meetings is seen as a core responsibility rather than a means to an end.
Examples from practice
A company where every minor issue requires a dedicated meeting; an organization where projects are endlessly discussed but never executed.
Advantages
Ensures thorough discussion; promotes a sense of inclusivity.
Disadvantages
Wastes employee time; reduces productivity; leads to "meeting fatigue."
