🎙 We All Hate Pointless Meetings—So Why Do We Keep Having Them?
In this episode of the Elite Leader Insights™ Podcast, Donald C. Kunkel Jr. unpacks one of the biggest productivity killers in modern leadership: meetings that waste time, erode trust, and derail execution.
Meetings were designed to move teams forward—but too often, they drain energy and deliver nothing. From performative face time to calendar chaos, Donald explores why we keep defaulting to meetings that don’t work—and what real leaders can do to fix them.
Drawing from the TECCA™ Influence System and The Foundations of Influence, this episode offers a powerful framework for making every meeting a moment of momentum—not confusion.
This is for every leader who's ever walked out of a meeting and thought:
“What did we actually accomplish?”
You’ll learn:
- Why most meetings create more confusion than clarity
- The neuroscience behind cognitive overload—and how meetings feed it
- Five research-backed strategies to lead meetings that actually matter
- How communication breakdowns start long before anyone speaks
Resources Mentioned:
- The Foundations of Influence: The Power to Lead & Inspire
- TECCA™ Influence Assessment and Power Profile™
- Elite Leader Insights™ Newsletter
Final Thought:
You don’t need another meeting. You need better meetings.
Because leadership isn’t about being busy—it’s about driving impact.
