You’re Right – Meetings Are the Worst | Don Kieffer

What if everything you thought about “common sense” about running a business was actually leading you astray? Don Kieffer, co-author of There’s Got to Be a Better Way, joins us to talk about why leaders often learn the wrong lessons from the decisions they make, and how redesigning work in a more dynamic way can help organizations truly thrive.

Don Kieffer worked his way up the corporate ladder at Harley-Davidson, bringing decades of hard-earned wisdom to our show about how work really gets done. He describes meetings as “the worst form of organizational abuse” (sometimes!) and explains how making work visible on walls changes everything about productivity. We discuss why the best solutions emerge from genuine partnerships among leaders, experts, and, perhaps most importantly, the people closest to the work.

Join us on this episode as we dig into why managers often become the very obstacles they’re trying to remove, how short-term fixes create long-term failures, and why a discovery mindset can turn mistakes into innovation. No matter where you are on your corporate journey, tune in to this conversation to challenge what you think you know about efficiency, adaptability, and leadership.
