Not a fan of meetings? You aren’t the only one. Lencioni is right: In many cases, meetings are both boring and unnecessary — a double whammy.

So it’s probably safe to say we’re not exactly a startup anymore. But we were. And it taught us some of the most important lessons we needed to know in order to get to where we are today.
