Delegators love to pull people into meetings, too. In fact, meetings are a delegator's best friend. That's where he gets to seem important. Meanwhile, everyone else who attends is pulled away from getting real work done.
According to Jason Fried in his book "Rework," delegators tend to favor meetings as a means of establishing their importance. These meetings serve as a platform for them to assert control and visibility within a team. While they may enjoy this attention, the reality is that others attending these meetings are distracted and unable to focus on their actual tasks.
This dynamic highlights how meetings can hinder productivity rather than promote it. While delegators may feel accomplished by organizing gatherings, the true cost is often borne by team members who need uninterrupted time to complete their work effectively.
