Probably like most businesses issues, it's a people problem. They have to care in the first place and idk if you can make people who don't care starting caring.

I agree the info is out there about how to run effective meetings.

Bingo -- 95% of work is people problems.

The coding is the easy part.

With LLMs and advanced models, even more so.

You can make people care easily. But people these days aren't incentivized to care. They announce layoffs and get a stock boost many times. You leave a company as a career suite and get paid millions. You speak corporate BS in meetings and get promoted.you bribe a government and you get tax breaks. I can go on for paragraphs about influencers, grifters, government, etc. It's entrenched everywhere.

We in tech like talking about meritocracy, but that's all collapsed, and even the illusion of it has collapsed now.
