I questioned whether a meeting required my presence. They decided, on reflection, it didn’t.
Spend so much time talking about what we can do that it actually stops us getting on with the work.
I would much rather we went away in smaller groups, generated ideas and then presented them at the meeting or via an email than having a brainstorming/shouting/sulking session where everyone seems to be taking notes trying to impress each other and avoiding any sort of implementation and change as a result.

Can relate. About 50% of my meetings actually need me. We're a small company too, was way worse when I was in larger places.
