#2Interesting observation:
I also see a major extrovert bias, which might seem a little funny for tech.
But, again, product managers (or, God forbid, Sales people) are all really subject to the “let’s just get some people in a room” style of planning and problem resolution.
I firmly believe some massive amount of productivity is squandered from people choosing the wrong communication paradigm.

Enron is also what can you get when you put the smartest guys in a room. People smart enough to exploit any system and rules, for example free food and gaming the ratings system to the company (and team goals) detriment.

Can you offer suggestions on alternative methods you'd prefer to see?
