David Grady: How to save the world (or at least yourself) from bad meetings

The video discusses the concept of Mindless Accept Syndrome (MAS), where individuals accept meeting invitations without considering their necessity, leading to wasted time and reduced productivity. The speaker uses a humorous analogy of a coworker stealing a chair to illustrate how time is often taken for granted in the workplace. Evidence of MAS is presented through a viral YouTube video depicting poorly run meetings, highlighting the global nature of the issue. The speaker proposes a solution called 'No MAS,' encouraging individuals to question meeting invitations and promote more thoughtful scheduling practices.
