That tracks back to the quantity of meetings they have in a day or a week – way too many, and to the quality of the meetings they attend – too often, they’re tortuous and inconclusive. In other words, a painful waste of time. There’s a lot out there about how to run a good meeting so I’m not really going to get into that here.

From a talent perspective, mergers are often far from ideal, with many employees choosing to leave an organization after it has been acquired by another firm. Research from Harvard Business School identifies at least one benefit, however, as the managerial team of the new firm is likely to be more diverse as a result of the merger.
