It's potentially quite expensive. Say someone costs the company $800 a day, all in (taxes etc), ie their salary is under 800x250 = $200k/year.
Dragging them into a meeting for an hour (8 hour day) is thus $100. 10 people perhaps, that's a grand a day you're spending on meetings.
How much of that hour does each participant actually need to be there? YMMV of course.
You can't have no meetings at all, but declining returns to scale will hit you on both time and people-count axes. I recall working for a firm with tens of thousands of staff that would do a global all-hands each quarter. Costs a bomb.
Just keep is small and quick, preferable async so that the least productive times are used.
