Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Radical Cantor podcast. I'm Kim Scott. I'm Amy Sandler and today we're talking about a topic that you likely have some strong feelings about and is also a thing where you spend a lot of your time and that is meetings. So we wanted to get some advice.

Can I say have a meeting? No, it's all about having a conversation. Well, can't meetings be conversations? We're gonna explore that and more with Dr. Stephen G.

Rogelberg. an organizational psychologist who holds the title of Chancellor's Professor at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte. He's an award-winning teacher and researcher and the author of The Surprising Science of Meetings, How You Can Lead Your Team to Peak Performance. And that book has been on over 25 best of lists. In fact, Adam Grant has called Stephen the world's leading expert.
