Dropbox CEO shares meeting rule: prioritize quarterly goals

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Dropbox co-CEO Ashraf Alkarmi has shared his strategy for managing meeting overload by focusing on quarterly goals. He prioritizes meetings that allow him to make significant progress on his five key objectives for the quarter, which include areas like people, business, and performance. This approach helps him filter out less critical discussions and maintain focus on his core responsibilities, a tactic echoed by other CEOs like Southwest Airlines' Bob Jordan and NVIDIA's Jensen Huang who also implement meeting-free times or reduce one-on-one check-ins to protect productive work time.
