Anti-patterns

  • Infrequent Communication: Holding all-hands meetings too infrequently can lead to gaps in communication and a disconnect among teams.
  • Overloading Information: Cramming too much content into a single meeting can overwhelm attendees and dilute key messages.
  • Excessive Length and Lack of Focus: Long, unfocused meetings can lead to disengagement and decreased participation.
  • One-way Communication: Focusing solely on presentations without allowing for open discussion and Q&A can limit their effectiveness.
