Why do we have 16 people on a Zoom call just to decide the font size on a slide? In this episode of Jest Business, Rahul and I have both sat through too many of those meetings. The ones that go in circles, where nobody wants to decide, but everyone wants to be heard. So in this episode, we decided to break it down: why corporate decision-making feels like a slow dance in quicksand.
We talk about the silent politics, the endless decks, and the mysterious art of socialising an idea. If you’ve ever left a call wondering what just happened, this one’s for you.
