Blending Leadership: Meetings

I may have already posted a variation on this excerpt at some point this year, but as I am preparing a session on meetings for the uLead conference in Banff, Calgary (CA) next week I thought it was a helpful foundation.
We have all been in a meeting that could have been handled through email. And we have all been part of an email chain that, due to its complexity and nuance, really should have been handled in a face-to-face (F2F) meeting.

We have all had the experience of getting lost in our work, of forgetting time and restraints, of reaching what might be called a flow state — and receiving a phone call or hearing an alarm on our computer or smart phone that calls us away from that work. To a meeting.
​
Perhaps even more damaging, and less easily recognized, are the times we have been prevented from reaching that flow state because we are constantly watching a clock or looking at our calendars or setting alarms or asking colleagues to interrupt us. Our awareness of impending meetings, and our constant need to plan for them or keep track of them, can act like an ankle bracelet keeping us under a constant, low-grade house arrest.
