Add an asynchronous written channel to every important meeting, and rotate the facilitator role among team members — meetings stop being monopolized by one communication style.

Call a friend with no reason once a month and suggest a meet within the next 12 hours.

Turn a dead meeting productive with three GROW questions and one clear decision.

Open the meeting with five minutes of silent reading of a written memo instead of slides.

Refuse to attend or hold any meeting whose agenda did not arrive 24 hours prior, no exceptions.

Track for three consecutive meetings: who spoke, for how long, and how often they were interrupted — hidden patterns show in numbers, not impressions.

Mentorship means giving advice in the room; sponsorship means saying their name in rooms they don't attend — deliberately practice the latter, not just the former.

Convert a meeting transcript (60+ min) into decisions and action items in 2 minutes.

For every 3 important digital chats with someone, schedule one real meeting.
