The CEO of Microsoft Has an 8-Hour Meeting With His Leadership Team Every Month

By Shana Lebowitz

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has been known to tell employees to skip pointless meetings that waste their time.

But that doesn't mean he spares his top execs from long meetings.

In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Nadella said they convene one Friday a month for a whopping eight hours. The other three weeks, they meet for four hours.
