These three toxic power moves kill meetings

Meetings are breeding grounds for three highly toxic power moves:

• AMPLIFICATION: The boss speaks, and suddenly it’s gospel. People start self-censoring, sugarcoating bad news, and swallowing their dissenting opinions.
• INCOMPETENCE: When a leader can’t run a meeting, it drains the room’s energy. People leave annoyed and wondering why they bothered to show up.
• JERK BEHAVIOR: Bullies, interrupters, and blowhards hijack the room. Collaboration isn’t just stifled—it’s publicly executed.
