To meet, or not to meet?

Usually, that isn’t the question — and that's a problem.

Right now, meetings are often the default for collaboration. No one is questioning them — they just show up. But when (according to Mural's own Teamwork Research Report) nearly two-thirds of workers aren't very happy with how their teams work together, it’s time to rethink which meetings need to happen — and when it makes sense to collaborate asynchronously instead.

(Psst — don't worry, we've got you covered there, too: Check out our complete guide to building and async-first culture.)

Are you unsure if all those calendar blocks are necessary? Use this infographic to help you decide.

Know some folks who could use this decision tree? 🤔  Share it with them! (Or maybe even print it out... frame it, and put it in the Louvre.)
