Welcome, minions, to the Level 2 guide on how to attend meetings like a true leader of the free world.
Or, you know, just like the CEO of Doom, who has a reputation for being ruthless, efficient, and slightly unhinged.
Here are the top 5 ways to succeed in meetings:
- Arrive late, but make sure to bring a gift. It's a great conversation starter.
- Make sure to bring a strongly worded memo that just happens to coincide with your interests.
- Use buzzwords like 'synergy', 'disruption', and 'innovation'. It's like a meeting ninja sword.
- Never, ever, ever, ever... actually listen to others.
- When the meeting runs long, blame it on the clock.
And, for the love of all things sane, read the manifesto before attending your next meeting.
