No-Meeting Culture: How to Operate Without Status Meetings in 2026

Meetings are expensive. One hour with 5 people costs 5 salary hours. The No-Meeting culture doesn't eliminate all meetings, but eliminates useless (informative) ones. If info can be read, the meeting is canceled.

The Dashboard is the Boss

If the manager wants to know "how much did we sell?", they don't call the team. They open the link. Trust in information eliminates the need for oratory.
