"When calendars are crowded and attention is finite, executives don't typically choose whether to attend these meetings. They choose how fully to show up. And in those moments, many rely on a simple mental shortcut: Does this topic sound interesting enough to warrant my full attention?"
Senior executives spend significant time in various meetings including one-on-ones, operational updates, cross-functional briefings, and status reviews. With crowded calendars and limited attention, leaders cannot avoid all meetings but must decide how fully to participate. Many executives use a mental shortcut to determine engagement level: whether the topic appears interesting enough to deserve their complete focus. This approach to selective attention shapes meeting effectiveness and organizational outcomes.
