But a new study found that this decision-making may be flawed: people systematically underestimate how engaging and valuable \u201cboring\u201d discussions become once they participate. The research found that while passive alternatives\u2014listening to recordings or reading summaries\u2014felt as dull as people expected, real-time interaction on topics rated \u201cboring\u201d consistently proved more engaging than people expected\u2014and participants were much more likely to desire a follow-up conversation than they had anticipated at the outset. By reframing expectations and investing attention\u2014especially in non-discretionary meetings\u2014executives can unlock hidden value in mundane exchanges, build trust with their employees, and avoid the costly blind spots caused by inattention."}
