I think if we changed the way we talk about meetings, schedules, work etc we could improve a lot of things.

A lot of it is in the standard modus operandi for extraverts and introverts. For extraverts, meetings feel productive, because they get their energy from social stimulation. They also like brainstorms and similar initiatives, despite research saying they decrease productivity and innovation. Most "people person" and "idea guy" functions tend to be extraverts, so they drive the narrative.
For introverts, discussing ideas provides energy. Meetings discussing feelings, inter-departemental drama, brainstorming, etc feel like the waste of time they are. A lot of meetings are poor replacements for thinking ahead or actual planning.
