great post. given how pervasive meetings seem to have become in corporate culture, managing them correctly can have a huge impact on productivity. amazon has (or at least used to have) a "two-pizza policy" or something like that. basically people aren't allowed to let meetings get any bigger than two pizzas could feed. once a meeting gets beyond 8 people, the returns diminish really quickly. 4-5 seems to be the sweet spot.
