ある会社では、会議の時間が長いことが問題になっていた。そこで、いすをすべてかたづけ、立ったまま行うことにした。すると、平均五十分だった会議が二十分になった。座っていると気にならない時間も、立っていると長く感じるからだろう。
この会社が会議を短くできた理由は何か。

At one company, long meetings were a problem. So they put away all the chairs and held meetings standing. Meetings that had averaged fifty minutes came down to twenty. Time that doesn't bother you when seated probably feels long when you're standing. Q: Why could this company shorten its meetings? — They decided to hold them standing.
