We've all been in one: the meeting after the meeting. It’s where real opinions surface and decisions get rehashed, often outside the room where they belong. In this episode, we break down why it happens and how leaders can eliminate it for good. If you're tired of the side conversations, unclear agendas, and “Was I supposed to know that?” moments, this one’s for you. These breakdowns aren’t just annoying; they're expensive. But the fix isn’t more structure. It’s better leadership.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

• Why the meeting after the meeting signals deeper leadership issues

• How to build trust and clarity into your meeting rhythms

• The simple “no-fail meeting” checklist every team should use

• Why storytelling can derail (or deepen) a productive meeting

• What real psychological safety looks like in decision-making
