More people must mean better productivity? More results?

Recently I have been in meetings, invited to meetings or more where we have to have multiple people to cover all bases because no one wants to either step on toes or make decisions for THEIR department without buy in. This causes a meeting to have to have another meeting since we need to invite the "Others" which essentially we start over and then try and make some kind of decision. I don't know about you but given the choice between another meeting or accepting people I trust decision and being more efficient - I am going with TRUST. Will it be exactly the way you wanted? Nope, probably not but could you move forward and be productive. In my opinion absolutely. Maybe all meetings should be held sitting on the floor or standing. This way people are not comfortable and get to the point.
