I have always found that there's an inverse relationship between the number of people in a room and the amount of useful work that can be done.
In John Scalzi's book "The End of All Things," a thought-provoking observation is made about productivity in relation to group size. Scalzi suggests that as the number of people in a room increases, the efficiency and effectiveness of the work being done tend to decrease. This highlights the potential distractions and communication challenges that arise when too many individuals are involved in a task.
The idea reflects a common sentiment in many work environments, emphasizing that smaller, more focused groups often achieve more meaningful outcomes. Scalzi's assertion encourages readers to consider how teamwork dynamics can affect performance and the importance of fostering an environment conducive to productive collaboration.
