Over the course of the pandemic, in-person meetings have shifted to online ones. But they were almost never without technical difficulties, and many people found them wanting. So, Caity asks, what do we miss when we don’t meet in person? With their emphasis on collaboration, meetings can “play a psychological role in motivating the work force,” Caitlin Rosenthal, an economic historian, said. Avoiding a bad meeting requires a purpose, a mixture of introverts and extroverts and — ideally — designated decision makers.
