Why do some people hate meetings?

Meeting format doesn't match their personality. Extroverts love spontaneous discussion; introverts prepare best with advance agendas. Quick decision-makers (ESTJ) get frustrated with consensus-seeking (ISFP). Thinkers (T) interrupt with questions; feelers (F) wait for the right moment. Structure helps all types.

How do we run meetings that work for everyone?

Send agenda 24h advance (helps introverts prepare). Have clear timeboxes (helps quick-deciders). Allow silent brainstorming first, then discussion (gives introverts voice). Take written decisions (helps detail-oriented). Follow up async (helps those who need to process). Structure isn't boring—it's inclusive.

Do we need fewer meetings for remote teams?

Yes, but more intentional ones. Remote removes casual hallway conversations that extroverts thrive on. But constant video meetings exhaust introverts. Solution: fewer, more purposeful meetings scheduled with clear outcomes. Async communication for updates; sync meetings for decisions and relationship-building only.
