There's so much talk about in-person for the sake of in-person, and then our actual in-person interactions (whether online or in-person) are so badly managed. This article seeks to correct that by focusing on designed meetings, where the purpose, roles, flows and outcomes are determined (so far as possible) to maximize and respect people's time. I appreciate that. Now this article is focused on leadership in a corporate mode, but of course if we elide the business elements (i.e., expenses, value, leverage, etc.) we get a good model for in-person interactions in general, which can inform what we're doing when we collaborate and learn together.
