The Show of Force Meeting is an exercise in seeing who can get the most people to the table where only two people talk.
It’s either a showing of how many people believe in my idea or an opportunity to show how many “influencers” you can get to the table.
In either case, it’s a waste of everyone’s time.
If you’re having to gather forces for a meeting, the goal of what the meeting was initially about is already lost because whatever it was for has now turned into something else altogether.
