My old warehouse manager in Fresno said something about our daily standup that I can't shake
We ran a 12 person crew and did a 15 minute standup every morning at 7. He pulled me aside one Tuesday and said the meeting was costing us more than it saved. I pushed back hard at first, because I built that routine. Then he asked me one question: how many times in 6 months did the standup change what anyone did that day? I couldn't name one. We killed it and put a whiteboard by the dock door instead. Pick rate went up 9% over the next quarter.
Now I'm second guessing every recurring meeting on the calendar. What's the ritual you cut that nobody missed?
