What High Performing Teams Do Differently With Meetings with Rebecca Hinds

Episode notes

Most leaders know meetings are broken. What’s harder to admit is that we keep reinforcing the system that makes them that way. Calendars are full. Teams are exhausted. And yet, meetings continue to multiply. Not because they work, but because they signal work. In this episode, Rebecca Hinds challenges the idea that meetings are just a scheduling problem. She reframes them as a deeper organizational issue rooted in visibility, status, and outdated ways of measuring value. You’ll hear why meetings often aren’t the root problem, but the most visible symptom. Why hybrid work and AI haven’t fixed collaboration, and in many cases have made it worse. And what it actually looks like to design meetings and workflows with intention, not habit. For HR leaders, this conversation is a wake-up call. Not just to reduce meetings, but to rethink how work itself is defined, measured, and experienced. Because if we don’t change it deliberately, AI will simply help us do more of what isn’t working.
