Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• Our weekly leadership meeting is just a round-robin of status updates where everyone reports and nobody actually decides anything
• People drop new "can you reprioritize this" requests on my team all week long and whoever asks loudest or latest wins
• My team is buried under recurring meetings and reports that everyone privately thinks are pointless, but no single person can just kill them
• I walk in with my list of things to check on and immediately steer the whole hour into my project review
• All our communication is ad-hoc
