Waldir dos Anjos

Waldir dos Anjos once reduced a weekly coordination meeting from ninety minutes to forty by assigning its unresolved items to the next meeting, a result he considered evidence that the calendar could be improved. Recently retired from arranging deckhand relief on longline boats, he would replace every standing meeting with a written disposition and a single escalation pathway, but nobody permits this because the resulting vacancies would require a meeting to determine who had authority to cancel meetings.
