  "account": "AT&T CEO John Stankey recently emphasized that employees should come to meetings fully prepared to contribute their ideas and perspectives, rather than simply sitting back and listening. Stankey stated that he values open discourse and expects points of view to be based on facts, information, and data. He believes that if employees don't have a constructive point to make at a meeting, perhaps the wrong individuals are present. This sentiment aligns with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon's views on meeting preparation and etiquette. Dimon also stresses the importance of making meetings productive and not wasting employees' time. The two CEOs discussed how they are adapting to meetings in the age of artificial intelligence, noting that reading materials before meetings may not be as effective as it once was. Instead, they rely on tools like AI to quickly gather information and engage in more dynamic conversations. Despite these changes, both leaders remain firm on the principle that preparation is essential for effective meetings.",
